Amerie Jo Garza

10-year-old Amerie Garza was pronounced dead by her parents.

Angel Garza posted on Facebook that his daughter Amerie was killed.

“My little love is now flying high with the angels. Please don’t take a second for granted. Hug your family. Tell them you love them,” he said.

Xavier Lopez

Family members also confirmed the death of Xavier Lopez, 10, who was in the 4th grade at Robb Elementary.

Lisa Garza said her cousin Xavier was “just a loving 10-year-old little boy just enjoying life, unaware that this tragedy was going to happen today”.

“He was very lively, loved to dance with his brothers and his mother.”

The three other children confirmed dead were named Uziyah Garcia, Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez and Nevaeh Bravo.

Eva Mireles

The fourth grade teacher was another to die after the vile attack.

Lydia Martinez Delgado said her niece was killed. She told KSAT: “I am furious that this shooting continues, these children are innocent, guns should not be readily available to all.

“I never thought that this would happen to special loved ones. All we can do is pray for our country, our state, our schools and especially for everyone’s families.”

According to Mireles’ profile on the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District’s website, she had been an educator for 17 years.

It was also said she had a daughter in college and loved running and hiking.

Irma Garcia

Irma Garcia was the other teacher who was sadly murdered.

Her nephew tweeted that “she sacrificed herself to protect the kids in her classroom” and “died a hero.”

She was married with four children and had been teaching for 23 years.

What happened in the Texas school shooting?

Ramos shot dead 19 children and two adults in the horrific mass murder at Robb Elementary School.

He reportedly crashed his car in front of the school and walked in around 11:30 am armed with two military-style rifles.

He had hinted at an impending attack on social media after buying the guns on his 18th birthday.

Although the tragic incident is still under investigation, authorities believe Ramos acted alone.

In addition to the dead, at least a dozen others were injured, including a 66-year-old woman in critical condition, a 10-year-old girl in critical condition, a 10-year-old girl in good condition and a 9-year-old girl in good condition.

The 18-year-old’s killing spree is the deadliest at a US elementary school since the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, nearly a decade ago.

The shooting also came just days after 10 people were killed in a mass shooting at a Tops Friendly Markets store in Buffalo, New York.
