After the shooting, Uvalde becomes a new stop on a grim American circuit

UVALDE, Tex. — The cowboy drove 1,213 miles from his Ohio farm and erected a blue tent and sign
asking, “NEED TALK?” on an empty corner lot. The Dallas artist painted a mural on tall canvas set up
across the street from Robb Elementary School. The parents of a mass shooting victim flew down from
Buffalo, advising new members of the terrible brotherhood created by yet another rampage.

As this small town grieves for 19 children and two teachers slain at school by a gunman, it has also
swelled, becoming a pilgrimage site for mourners, relief workers, therapists, proselytizers and voyeurs.
In a region that typically grows busy with summer vacationers cooling in the Frio River or fall hunters
prowling the Hill Country, hotels are now unseasonably full, restaurants bustling.

“These shootings are always the same but always different,” said Sandy Phillips, whose daughter was
killed in a mass shooting in Aurora, Colo. in 2012, and who now travels with her husband from one
massacre to another. Uvalde’s survivors, she said, are “family now — unfortunately, a family you never
want to become a part of.”

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, in an interview, described visiting media as intrusive and frustrating “to
no end.” But he called the counselors and spiritual leaders who have descended on the town a
“blessing.”
Karina Arango, 34, rolled up in a Mini Cooper. She was definitely not sleeping well, she said, and soon
she was sobbing. Her friend’s daughter was in the ICU, gravely wounded by bullets. Graham offered
Kleenex.

“We have talked about just setting up a table and having this information there for whoever may need
it. But we always hesitate to become part of the circus,” said Sandy, describing street preachers and
motorcycle ministers. “They were just loud and obnoxious, and it made me sad that this quiet little
community was being inundated.”

It was calmer on Thursday evening in the town plaza, where Knights of Columbus from various Texas
chapters flipped burgers in 91-degree heat. A teacher from Albuquerque sang a Sarah McLachlan song
and explained to those gathered that she knew Uvalde would be different from what she saw on
television, so she “had to be here.” The crowd, mostly locals, sat in camp chairs and seemed
appreciative.
