AN IMPACT ON HIS COURAGE.
I SPENT MY CAREER AS A SENATOR
TO SUE VICE PRESIDENT. WORKING
TO PASS COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS.
WE CAN AND WILL PREVENT EVERY
TRAGEDY. BUT WE KNOW THEY WORK
AND HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT.
WE PASSED THE ASSAULT WEAPONS
BAN. MASS SHOOTINGS WENT DOWN.
WHEN YOU ARE EXPIRED, MASS
SHOOTINGS TRIPLE.
THE IDEA THAT IN A 2 YEAR-OLD
KID.
CAN WALK INTO A GUN STORE AND
BUY TO ASSAULT WEAPONS. IT’S
JUST WRONG.

SOLVE BEFORE EXCEPT TO KILL
SOMEONE.

>> THAT’S PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
SPEAKING.
>> FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AFTER
JUST RETURNING FROM HIS
OVERSEAS TRIP, TALKING ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED IN NEW VALLEY
TODAY SAYING HE’S SICK AND
TIRED OF IT. WE HAVE TO ACT
TALKING ABOUT HIS OWN PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE SAYING, QUOTE,
LOSING A CHILD IS LIKE HAVING A
PIECE OF YOUR SOUL RIPPED AWAY
AND QUOTE, SOMETHING HE KNOWS
HE LOST HIS SON AND WIFE.
>> AND AND REALLY, TO SUM UP
OUTSIDE OF ADDRESSING THE THE
EMOTION THAT THAT HE KNOWS.
I’LL BE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
THE EMOTION THAT HE KNOWS OF
LOSING A CHILD YOU KNOW, HE
SAID THIS AND I QUOTE HERE WHEN
IN GOD’S NAME WILL BE STEP UP
TO THE GUN LOBBY.
HE REPEATED THAT SENTIMENT OVER
AND OVER AGAIN ASKING.
FOR A CHANGE TO BE MADE AND
THAT I THINK IS, YOU KNOW, I
KNOW WE TALK ABOUT THIS NOT
WANTING TO BECOME POLITICAL,
BUT WE LOOK TO THOSE WHO ARE
POLITICIANS WHO WE HAVE ELECTED
TO SAY. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO
HELP US MAKE A CHANGE. HOW DO
WE DO THAT?
>> IT IS ALSO WORTH MENTIONING
SINCE THE PRESIDENT BROUGHT
UP THE GUN LOBBY. THE NRA IS
HOLDING ITS CONVENTION LATER
THIS WEEK IN HOUSTON.
GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT, TED CRUZ
AND JOHN CORNYN GOING TO BE
THERE AS OF THIS WRITING,
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
ALSO EXPECTED TO BE IN HOUSTON
AS AGAIN THIS FRIDAY FOR THE
NRA CONVENTION. WE’LL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS THERE.
>> IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING
TO SEE WHETHER THERE IS ANY
SORT OF
CONVERSATION SURROUNDING WHAT
HAPPENED TODAY.
AND THIS IS AN EVENT TO THE NRA
CONVENTION IS SET TO HAPPEN
IN JUST DAYS FROM NOW. WE WILL
CERTAINLY STILL BE TALKING
ABOUT THIS ON FRIDAY, THE DAY
OF THAT CONVENTION, WE WILL
STILL BE FEELING IT.
AT THAT TIME. SO I KNOW THAT
THAT WILL BE SOMETHING WE WATCH
TO SEE WHETHER THERE IS ANY
IMPACT THERE THAT WHEN WE TOOK
THE ABC FEED OF THE PRESIDENT,
WE TOOK THE ABC SHOT OF THE
PRESIDENT. YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT
IT SAID 18 STUDENTS AND 2
ADULTS. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT
THAT WERE KILLED AT THE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THAT IS
TECHNICALLY RIGHT.
>> WHEN WE SAY THAT THERE ARE
18 STUDENTS AND 3 ADULTS WERE
KILLED THIS AFTERNOON IN
UVALDE. WE’RE INCLUDING THE
ALLEGED GUNMAN’S GRANDMOTHER
WHO HE APPARENTLY SHOT BEFORE
HE HEADED TO ROB ELEMENTARY.
SO IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHY THE
NUMBERS DIDN’T EXACTLY ADD UP
THERE BETWEEN WHAT ABC HAD
THEIR REPORTING, JUST THE THE
DEATHS INSIDE THE ELEMENTARY.
>> WE’RE INCLUDING THE ALLEGED
GUNMAN’S GRANDMOTHER. WE’RE NOT
INCLUDING THE ALLEGED GUNMAN,
THOUGH, IN THOSE NUMBERS
BECAUSE WHEN WE SAY 21 INNOCENT
LIVES WERE TAKEN.
WE’RE NOT INCLUDING THE GUN.
THAT WAS CERTAINLY NOT PART OF
THAT DESCRIPTION. SO.
>> LET’S WRAP UP WHAT WE KNOW
HERE AT 11. 32 THIS MORNING,
THERE WAS A REPORT OF AN ACTIVE
SHOOTER SITUATION AT RAUB
ELEMENTARY.
>> IN NEW VALLEY, THIS IS A
SCHOOL FOR SECOND THROUGH 4TH
GRADE STUDENTS. WE HAVE LEARNED
IN THE HOURS SENSE THAT 18
STUDENTS HAVE BEEN SHOT AND
KILLED 3 ADULTS. THAT INCLUDES
2 ADULTS THAT WERE AT THE
SCHOOL AND THEN ALSO THE
SUSPECTS GRANDMOTHER. BUT
INVESTIGATORS SAY HE SHOT
BEFORE GOING TO THE SCHOOL TO
CARRY OUT THIS CARNAGE. WE HAVE
ALSO LEARNED THAT THIS 18
YEAR-OLD IS SOMEONE FROM
UVALDE. HE WAS A STUDENT AT
UVALDE HIGH SCHOOL AND A LOT
OF QUESTIONS AND CONVERSATIONS.
CERTAINLY YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE
IN UVALDE
ABOUT SOMEONE WITHIN THEIR OWN
COMMUNITY. A SMALL TOWN, A
TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY. WE’RE
BLESSED TO HAVE SO MANY OF
THOSE HERE IN SOUTH TEXAS.
NOW.
HAVING TO COME TO GRIPS WITH
THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY FROM
WITHIN THAT COMMUNITY CARRIED
THIS OUT. YEAH. AND WE DO KNOW
THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
>> CHILDREN AND ADULTS THAT
WERE INJURED THAT ARE FIGHTING
FOR THEIR LIVES TONIGHT.
WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE 3
PATIENTS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN
FROM UNIVERSITY TAKEN FROM
UVALDE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WHERE
THEY’RE DOING WORK TO SAVE
LIVES TONIGHT AND BEING BROUGHT
TO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AIRLIFE
TO AT LEAST 3 PEOPLE. 2.10,
YEAR-OLD GIRLS. AGAIN, 2.10,
YEAR-OLD GIRLS, ONE OF THEM IN
GOOD CONDITIONS, ONE IN
CRITICAL CONDITION. AND A 66
YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO IS ALSO IN
CRITICAL CONDITION. WE ALSO
KNOW AMONG THOSE SHOT AND
WOUNDED A BORDER PATROL AGENT
WHO SHOWED UP ON SCENE TO HELP
IN ANY WAY THEY CAN. ACTUALLY
THE SECRETARY OF A HOMELAND
SECURITY PUT OUT A STATEMENT
EARLIER SAYING THAT BORDER
PATROL OFFICIALS DID TAKE PART
IN HELPING LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
ACTUALLY HELPING THE MEDICAL
COMMUNITY AS WELL. TAKE CARE OF
SOME OF THE VICTIMS WHO WERE
ON THE SCENE THERE THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE VALLEY
SCHOOLS CAME OUT AND TALKED
ABOUT BEING HEARTBROKEN AND
THE FACT THAT SCHOOL IS DONE
FOR THE YEAR IT WAS SCHEDULED
TO START TO END ON THURSDAY
IS NOW DONE FOR THE YEAR.
GRIEF COUNSELORS WILL BE AT
THE CITY, THE CIVIC CENTER
STARTING AT 08:00AM TOMORROW
FOR STAFF MEMBERS AT ROB
ELEMENTARY AND 10:00AM FOR
ANYONE AND THEY PLAN ON BEING
THERE AS LONG AS THEY NEED TO
BE.
>> AND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
OUTSIDE OF THE VALLEY
COMMUNITY. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE
RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE TALKED
ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE HELP THAT
THEY COULD PROVIDE FOR FOR
ANYONE WHO IS IS HAVING A HARD
TIME DEALING WITH THIS, WHICH
I THINK WOULD DESCRIBE MOST
OF US THIS EVENING. SO THERE
IS HELP OUT THERE. THERE ARE
WONDERFUL RESOURCES HERE IN SAN
ANTONIO AND WE TALKED WITH THE
MAYOR EARLIER ABOUT THE
CHILDREN’S BEREAVEMENT CENTER.
THERE IS THE ECUMENICAL CENTER
WE HAVE HERE. THOSE ARE JUST
ONES I CAN THINK OF OFF THE
TOP OF MY HEAD. I KNOW THERE
ARE OTHERS AND I’M SURE THAT
THEY CERTAINLY WILL BE REACHING
OUT TO THE FOLKS IN UVALDE.
TO HELP PROVIDE.
WHAT THEY NEED TO TO GET THEM
THROUGH THIS INCREDIBLY TOUGH
TIME. AND NOT ONLY THERE, BUT
BUT PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THIS
COMMUNITY. SO CHECK OUT OUR
WEB SITE FOR THOSE RESOURCES.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ANY
INFORMATION AND IF YOU’RE
WONDERING WHAT I CAN DO RIGHT
NOW, WHAT I CAN DO IN THIS VERY
MOMENT, BLOOD IS DESPERATELY
DESPERATELY NEEDED, ESPECIALLY
TYPE O BLOOD TYPE O BLOOD
UNIVERSE OVER SOLAR.
>> DONATIONS. THERE IS THE
SOUTH TEXAS BLOOD AND TISSUE
CENTER. AND AT LAST CHECK.
>> THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT THAT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
TOUCH ME IS THE OUTPOURING.
OF SUPPORT. THERE’S A 2 HOUR.
WAIT. AT THE BLOOD AND TISSUE
CENTER TONIGHT.
>> AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY
WILL STAY THERE. THEY WILL KEEP
THEIR DOORS OPEN UNTIL
EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO GIVE.
CAN GIVE OUR PATTY SANTOS WAS
OUT THERE EARLIER TALKING TO
PEOPLE ABOUT WHY THEY WERE
MOVED TO DO SO. AND I’M SURE
THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE A LOT OF
THEIR ANSWERS AND I’M SURE THAT
THAT LINE.
IS GROWING. THERE ARE ALSO
OTHER WAYS THAT YOU CAN DONATE
TO OTHER PLACES YOU CAN
UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS,
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND
ACTUALLY TOMORROW THEY’RE
HAVING A BLOOD DRIVE IN NEW
VALLEY ITSELF.
>> AND OF COURSE, WE HAVE ALL
THOSE DETAILS ON KSAT.COM WAYS
TO HELP BECAUSE UP HONESTLY,
YOU FEEL JUST SO HELPLESS IN
THIS SITUATION AND THIS IS A
WAY 2 HELP THOSE WHO REALLY
NEED IT. WE WE SAW.
2 BOXES FULL OF BLOOD DONATIONS
THAT WERE TAKEN FROM SAN
ANTONIO BY HELICOPTER TO
UVALDE. SO IT REALLY IT TOUCHES
YOUR HEART TO SEE.
THIS COMMUNITY’S WRAPPING ITS
ARMS AROUND THE VALLEY IN THE
SAND AND TRYING TO HELP IN ANY
WAY WE CAN.
>> AND, YOU KNOW, THE
OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT AND
REACTION CONTINUES TO COME IN.
I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE SOME
REACTION FROM THE VICE
PRESIDENT HERE THIS EVENING.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. ENOUGH
IS ENOUGH. AS A NATION.
>> TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO TAKE
ACTION.
AND UNDERSTAND THE NEXUS.
BETWEEN WHAT MAKES FOR
REASONABLE AND SENSIBLE PUBLIC
POLICY.
>> TO ENSURE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS NEVER HAPPENS.
>> THAT WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT
JUST MOMENTS WE’RE GOING TO
TAKE YOU TO THE TOP OF THE HOUR
WITH OUR SO WE’VE GOT A COUPLE
MINUTES LEFT
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IT.
WE DEFINITELY WANTED TO HIT ON
AND I WANT TO HIT ON AGAIN IS
CAN WE PUT THE PICTURE OF THE
4TH GRADE TEACHER UP SOMEBODY
THAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AS
SOMEONE WHO WAS SHOT AND KILLED
IN NEW VALLEY TODAY. THERE SHE
IS EVER MOROSE. SHE’S A 4TH
GRADE TEACHER.
AND I WANT TO READ AGAIN FROM
HER BIO. IN THE VALLEY SCHOOL
DISTRICT. THE FACT THAT THIS
IS AN INNOCENT LIFE THAT WAS
TAKEN AN EDUCATOR FOR 17 YEARS.
CO TEACHING FOR 5 YEARS.
SHE SAYS SHE HAD A SUPPORTIVE
FUN AND LOVING FAMILY, WHICH
INCLUDES YOU SEE ISD OFFICER.
SHE’S A COLLEGE GRADUATE DOG
HAS A COLLEGE GRADUATE DAUGHTER
AND 3 FURRY FRIENDS. CALI
CANAAN COTA.
SHE LOVES RUNNING HIKING AND
NOW YOU JUST MIGHT SEE ME
RIDING A BIKE. THAT IS FROM
HER BIO ON THE ROB ELEMENTARY,
YOUR BALLOT, EC ISD.
SCHOOL WEB SITE. I WANT THE
FOCUS TO BE ON PEOPLE LIKE.
MORALES, MAYOR ELLIS, I WANT
THE FOCUS TO BE ON HER. NOT ON
THIS 18 YEAR-OLD NOT ON THE
GUNS HE USED OR HOW WE DID WHAT
HE DID, BUT THE LIVES THAT HE
TOOK TODAY IN NEW VALLEY.
THE HUMANS WHO ARE NO LONGER
WITH US BECAUSE OF THIS EVIL
ACT.
>> AND AS WE CONTINUE TO REMIND
YOU OF THE NUMBERS OF THE DEATH
TOLL.
OF 18 STUDENTS AND 3 ADULTS,
INCLUDING TO CHURCH OR ADULTS
AT THE SCHOOL AS WELL AS THE
GUNMAN’S.
GRANDMOTHER. REMEMBER THAT
THERE WERE FACES LIKE HERS
BEHIND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THOSE NUMBERS.
AND MORE FACES THAT WE HAVE NOT
