Two teachers and 19 students were killed in the May 24, 2022, mass shooting.Wednesday marks one year since the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead. ABC's John Quinones has covered this story since the beginning -- and has one student's miraculous story.

When the gunfire broke out that day, officers from Uvalde police, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Texas Department of Public Safety were among those who rushed to Robb Elementary. But law enforcement waited some 77 minutes before breaching a classroom and killing the gunman. The families said the settlement also mandates ways the city should support the community as residents heal, including: establishing May 24 as an annual Day of Remembrance; creating a committee to design a permanent memorial funded by the city; and continuing to support mental health services.
