Editor’s note: This story contains details of a mass casualty event and gun violence.
Mayah Zamora, a 10-year-old who was critically injured in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Astros’ game against the Twins on Tuesday night.
Zamora spent more than 60 days in the hospital and underwent more than 20 surgeries after suffering gunshot wounds to her hands, arms, chest and back. Thankful to be alive following her release from the hospital last month, Zamora returned home to learn that the shooting suspect had lived only blocks from her home. Because of that, she did not feel comfortable at her home.
