the life of the students by jumping in front of them. >> she was a vivacious soul. she spread laster and joy everywhere she went. she was a loving and caring mom, relative, teacher to her students. >> the second adult, another teacher, irma garcia was finishing her 23rd year of teaching, she and her husband joe were married for 24 years with four kids together. she loved to barbecue and listen to music. >> the teacher irma garcia was a year below me in school. i had known her probably 30 years, 25 years. >> at least 17 others were wounded, university hospital in san antonio is still caring for four victims, three children and one 66-year-old woman, the shooter's grandmother listed in serious condition, the gunman shot her in the face before he ran into school and began his

shooting rampage. >> i seen this in the news somewhere else but not here but it is happening here. you think it's big town, big community but small town like uvalde. >> and cnn has confirmed the identities of four more victims killed in tuesday's shooting one of them anna bell guadalupe rodriguez was just 10 years old, a third grader, was at school, in class with her cousin who apparently was also killed in the shooting. eli garcia just 9 years old another victim, her family said she loved playing basketball and cheer leading and dreamed of becoming a teamer. another victim tess matta was 10 years old and saving up to take her family to disney world.

another victim just 10 years old her family tells cnn quote, our baby earned her wings. boris sanchez cnn uvalde, texas. when it comes to mass shooting in the u.s., especially involving children, the u.s. congress is a spectacular failure, marking the 3rdth mass shooting in elementary school in just this year. the road blocks to legislation is often the weapon responsible for the bloodshed. >> are assault rifles necessary for americans to own. >> i own one and never hurt anybody with it. the second amendment is part of our constitution and banning a particular set of guns would be -- you know, if democrats want to impose the assault

weapon ban again bring it up let's vote. >> that rings hollow when the democrats thin majority in the senate know they don't have the votes to push through a weapons back or even background checks. >> i spent all of last year trying to find a compromise with republicans, i sat with one republican and another republican and could not get a compromise that could get more than two or three republicans. we don't need 50 republicans, we only need 10 or 12 republicans. >> u.s. president will soon head to texas and visit with the families of the school shooting victims and play the role of comforter in-in-chief. >> for president biden the day after the horrific mass murder in texas basically exhausted, outraged, and more calls to do

something, what that something will be is a open question, but the president making clear despite multiple efforts over the years to pressure republicans on capitol hill to agree or at least compromise on some types of new gun restrictions on height worked. this time the president hopes could be different, potentially. take a listen. >> we must ask when in god's name will we do what needs to be done to, if not completely stop, fundamentally change the carnage that goes none it country. to state the obvious and according to a lot of people here, i'm sick and tired, i'm just sick and tired of what continues to go on. >> it's notable that there's two bills passed by house democrats related to background checks where it could be brought in the senate at any point wu no immediate move to do that.

both democrats and white house trying to give time to bring back bipartisan talk that's have fallen short as it pertains to background checks and red flag laws. it is still unclear where those talks will go and chuck schumer has made clear it will not be a endless negotiation there's a clear 10-day deadline on the talks, the white house is not explicitly stating that one or two proposals has to get done, under scores the fact as the president tries to shift that diana, a diana that's a dynamic that has been firmly in place for a decade. he wants something to get done. whether it happens remains an open question. the president will travel to texas in days ahead and will give remarks while there, but made the point on wednesday his primary goal while there will be to talk to the families of the 19 children who were killed, to

hear what they have to say and try to share some empathy in this most trying and horrific of moments, cnn, the white house. gun laws in texas are among the least restrictive in the u.s. and last year governor greg abbott approved a law allowing permitless carry, meaning texans can carry handguns in public without a license or training and pushed back saying gun laws are not a solution and cnn looks closer how a teenager was able to buy a gun legally in texas. >> 19 small children slaughtered by a gunman not much owner than they were. he was the legal owner of two ar 15 style rifles. >> it is an assault rifle. >> week after his 18th birthday he bought a rifle. next day, 375 rounds of

ammunition. two days after that a second rifle. four days later shot 19 kids and 2 adults, dead. this killer couldn't legally buy a beer. too immature but could legally buy weapons of war. >> maybe we could at least agree to raise the age of purchasing these weapons. >> just last year lawmakers lower to 18 the age some texans can get a handgun license. for rifles texas law mirrors federal, 18 and up you can buy one of these after just a basic background check but from an unlicensed dealer or gun show no check required. here in liberal-leaning california the legal age to buy assault-style rifles was up to 21 in 2019. struck down two weeks ago, back to 18. why? america would not exist without the heroism of the young adults who fought and died in our

revolutionary army wrote judge nelson, we reaffirm our constitution protects the right that enabled their sacrifice, the right of young adults to keep and bear arms. so 18 years old in california can buy semi-automatic weapons today in part because teenage soldiers died carrying single-shot muskets in a war more than 200 years ago. >> stronger gun laws save lives and weaker laws cause gun violence, we need lawmakers to act. >> this tragedy in texas is far from a an isolated incident of a legally-armed teenage attacker, just 11 days ago an 18-year-old white housist gunned white supremacist gunned down 13 people in buffalo, new york. armed with da semi automatic

weapon that he was able to legally buy and own. >> what happened in uvalde brings back memories what happened to sandy hook nearly 10 years ago 20 kids and 6 adults gunned down also by a teenaged gunman, also armed with an ar-15 style weapon that was bought legally. in the wake of the sandy hook shooting the state of connecticut changed their laws mainly around the size of magazines that can be attached to the rifles. so will texas make any changes the in the wake of what happened in uvalde? unlikely. last summer when governor abbott was making it easier for texans to carry weapons he said texas will always be the leader in defending the second amendment and at a press conference in uvalde seemed not interested in any change. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. joining me now from san

francisco executive direct yoofr of the law center to prevent gun violence. thank you for staying with us. i want to start talking about democratic nominee owe o'rourk this is at the the governor's news conference on wednesday. -- >> the main accusation is the governor of texas has done nothing to prevent this from happening it's reality is less

than nothing as they have made it easier to carry firearms. >> absolutely in last several arms texas has done nothing but make firearms laws weaker, not that much was in place to begin with but now even what was in place is basically gone. as bad as any state can be when we rate the states on the strength 6 the gun laws, texas gets an f for how weak their gun laws are and because of that texas has one of the highest gun deaths in the country. what ed o'rourke was saying this is predictable and there's things we can do to prevent these type of shootings and mass murder like in that classroom. we can raise the minimum age for owning a firearm and limit ammunition and have background checks on gun sales. i don't know if americans realize you don't need a background check to buy a gun in

texas and don't need a permit to carry a loaded gun in public. it's astounding how weak the gun laws are. >> texas joined if 19 states to allow anyone to carry a handgun without a permit, without training, the biggest gun law in 2021 that instilled freedom in texas. this goes back to 2019 response from state lawmakers after shooting in a high school and another in a church and made access to get a gun easier despite calls for the opposite. majority of texans want the tougher gun laws and got less restrictive gun laws. how's that happen? >> it happens unless voters are willing to vote this issue and hold elected officials accountable for passing these kind of laws they feel no only gas station to listen to the electorate they do what the nra tell them to do, they tow the

line, unless there's consequences they don't worry about it much. i think that's changing. in the last several election cycles at the federal level we've seen dozens of candidates running for gun safety as their platform as champions and they're winning and that is new, that's just happened in the last three or four political cycles in this country so there is a shift happening and sometimes takes politicians a while to catch up. i do expect there will be consequences of action in this next election cycle if congress, senate and state legislatures continue to do nothing. >> and among the new gun laws that came to texas last year is one known as second-amendment sanctuary from a legal point of view how's it work. the supremacy constitution says

federal law generally takes precedence over state laws. >> and what happens is those laws get challenged and in almost every instance when states try it pass laws enforcing federal law that they need to constitutionally under the law those sanctuary laws are struck down but in some ways are more of a statement. politicians, conservative districts advocate for these laws because it's a rara move to make the constituents feel good, like, we don't have to follow the law but actually that's not how our government works and inevitably gets turned around but in the meantime creates an impression, especially for things like local sheriffs who are elected in this country that they can pick and choose which laws they want to enfor. enforce. the amount of chaos and anarchy that would result in is ridiculous. it's a really unfortunate message that gets sent out. >> there's a lot of unfortunate

things happening that is one of them. thanks for being with us, robin thomas from san francisco. >> thanks for having me on. >> still to come. cnn has exclusive access messages sent to the texas governor minutes before the school rampage, a teenage girl in germany new exactly w what h was planning.

believe to be strengthennd bit strategy. >> our community may have differences but in a time of need and crisis people of uvalde unite. that's what is good about this, if there's anything good about this it's going to bring our community together. >> cnn's reporter live in uvalde, texas, we heard that official talking about the community coming together to be stronger for this. this is one day after the shooting what sense are you getting with how they're coping with this tragedy? >> reporter: john, we've seen people come out all day to pay respects for the fallen, dropping off flowers and stuffed animals in front of the school at welcome sign in honor of those victims and their families. this just has been so tough for this close-knit community as they try to process their collective grief. the common sentiment that we've

been hear something just how unfair all of this has been, unfair because these kids had the rest of their lives ahead of them. these kids many of whom were in the fourth grade getting ready to head out on summer break, two days away from doing so. earlier that morning they celebrated the end of the school year award ceremony in which students were recognized for get on to the honor roll, best attendance, et cetera. and so for this to happen just, it's painful. and we did speak to a woman earlier tonight who called this town resilient but john they are certainly going to be tested in the weeks and months to come. >> yeah, absolutely. we also are hearing new details emerge being the events just before and after the gunman entered the school. at one point it seemed the gunman was held up in a classroom parents were at the school begging police to go in and engage with the gunman.

what more do we know about that? >> yeah, the gunman was in inside the school for up to an hour before police entered into the room, the classroom he was in and then killed him. officials tell us that the shooter was in a stand off with police. barricading himself for about 30 minutes while the rest of the students and faculty were being evacuated from the school. officials maintaining that they needed to come up with a tactical strategy and so this appears to align with what we've been hearing in terms of the. >> reporter:s been hearing in in terms of the reports of parents trying to enter the premise to take matters into their own hands, john. >> chris, thanks for the very latest in uvalde. among the dead jose' is an amazing kid that anyone

would like to have. >> 10-year-old jose' flores had a huge smile on his face when he received this honor roll certificate at school on tuesday. just a few hours later the world changed. this is his mother, father and three siblings. his father went to the hospital hoping he was a patient there and nurse took him into the hospital chapel. >> what did the nurse tell you. >> as soon as they took me to the room i already knew what it was about. she didn't have to say much. because of the way she took me in there. the way she said have a seat we got to talk to you, we got to tell you some things, i already knew what was next. >> jose' jr., a loving son big brother did not survive the gunman's rampage, jose' sr called his wife cynthia. >> he said my baby didn't make

it. >> it seemed like a nightmare, they couldn't comprehend their eldest child was gone. and jose' asked the rangers if he could see his son. >> one of the rangers told me, he said as a father i wouldn't let you go back there and see him. he was not recognizable. >> jose' jr.'s five-year-old brother jaden took us into his bedroom that he shared with his big brother and on his big bed all of his favorite stuffed animals when he was a i little boy and set of clothes that his parents say he will wear in his casket. >> i didn't get to hold him no more. i didn't -- i didn't get to see him any more. just at the funeral, might not be an open casket for the same reason. >> jose' jr. wanted to be a police officer when he grew up.
