Uvalde Texas suffered the second-deadliest school shooting in US history on May 24, 2022 when a gunman killed 19 children and 2 teachers at Robb Elementary School. The mass casualty event and the law enforcement response failures drew national attention and shaped national school safety policy. Uvalde County sits in the Texas Hill Country near the US-Mexico border — the Del Rio sector experiences significant border security activity. The community's trauma response and ongoing security improvements serve as a model for rural Texas emergency preparedness.
