‘Loss and pain’: Sen. Roland Gutierrez is driven to fight for Uvalde victims’ families

AUSTIN, Texas – Roland Gutierrez is stuck.

He’s stuck in a very specific moment. The San Antonio state senator who represents Uvalde is watching videos for the first time of the horror that unfolded at Robb Elementary School on May 24, 2022.

Gutierrez watches as the attacker comes into frame, tosses his hair and enters two classrooms. The gunshots ring out.
