| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Welcome, Naxios, today. It's Wednesday, May 25th. I'm Nyla Boudou. |
| 0:10.1 | Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why don't we keep letting this happen? |
| 0:15.3 | 19 children and at least two adults are dead after a mass shooting at an elementary school in |
| 0:22.0 | Ovalde, Texas. Almost 10 years after Sandy Hook and just 11 days after the mass shooting in Buffalo, |
| 0:30.0 | New York, the nation is forced into mourning and outrage again. Yesterday shooting at Rob |
| 0:39.2 | Elementary School marks the 213th mass shooting in the US this year. Officials confirmed the suspect |
| 0:47.4 | an 18-year-old man is dead and say they believe he acted alone. |
| 0:51.7 | Naxios' Estrid Galvan has been following the story. Estrid, what do we know about the victims |
| 0:58.2 | of this horrific attack? Unfortunately not a whole lot has come out yet. We do know that the |
| 1:05.0 | teacher who was killed was a longtime teacher, beloved in her community, but we're still waiting |

| 1:29.3 | also close to the US Mexico border, but not on the border, working class, largely Mexican-American |
| 1:37.0 | families. A lot of Latino communities, especially when they're small in size, they're close-knit |
| 1:43.6 | I come from Alpezzo, Texas, which is actually really big, a huge population of over 700,000 |
| 1:48.8 | people, and it feels like a small town. People know each other, people have a real sense of community |
| 1:56.3 | and closeness, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's also the case here. You're a native Texan, |
| 2:02.3 | you're a parent of young children, and unfortunately you've covered mass shootings before. |
| 2:08.8 | How are you processing all of this? I'll be very frank. I was immediately sick to my stomach |
| 2:15.4 | after covering the shooting in my hometown of Alpezzo, in which a gunman shot 23 people. |
| 2:21.5 | It was heart-wrenching. I remember my daughter at the time was 18 months, and she went with me |
