President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden visited the Texas city of Uvalde. Meanwhile, The Justice Department announced it would be conducting an independent review of the local law enforcement response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.
President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden visited the small Texas city of Uvalde on Sunday to meet and console the families of victims and survivors of last week’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.
The Justice Department review was not the focus of Biden’s somber visit to the city, which included a stop at a memorial at the school, a Catholic Mass, several hours grieving with the families and a meeting with first responders — including police officers, firefighters, paramedics and mental health providers.
“What are you going to do about it?” some in attendance repeatedly asked the president, Becerra said. “They got loud. They made it very clear. They wanted answers.” Some chanted “Do something! Do something!” as the Bidens exited a noon Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, to which Biden replied, “We will!”
After visiting the memorial, the Bidens joined the noon Mass at Sacred Heart, which was attended by about 600 people. The first lady lightly touched the hands of several people seated along the aisle as she and the president made their way to their seats in a front-row pew.
