The Uvalde mass shooting at Robb Elementary School happened on May 24, seven weeks ago. Here is the video from the tragedy for transparency and a column by Austin American-Statesman editor Manny Garcia on why his newspaper and KVUE decided to publish the footage. Authorities could have easily released it already, Garcia notes.
We have to bear witness to history, and transparency and unrelenting reporting is a way to bring change, Garcia writes.
Warning: Some may find the footage disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
