Walmart is facing backlash for reportedly selling a shirt with the phrase, 'Where the heck is Uvalde, Texas?'

Merchandise reportedly being sold by Walmart has ignited anger and frustration in a Texas community still reeling from tragedy. The T-shirt in question asks in large type, “Where the heck is Uvalde , Texas ?” Brett Cross , the father of a victim of the May 24, 2022, shooting at Robb Elementary school, responded to the shirt with a post on X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter. “Oh you know, that town by San Antonio where 19 kids and two teachers were killed,” he wrote.

“Certainly, you did not intend to profit from the horrible massacre in Uvalde, right?” another asked the retail giant. The navy blue shirt has the outline of Texas on the front and was for sale for less than $10, according to the post. While it is not available on Walmart’s website, a quick Google search shows that the same design is being sold by several other online retailers. Walmart did not immediately respond Sunday to a request for comment.
