The US and Lone Star flags were flying at half-mast on Wednesday along the main strip of Uvalde, outside City Hall, the library and in front of everywhere from petrol stations to the Days Inn.
As traffic poured into the town – countless journalists grabbing any free inch of greenery for live shots – vehicles drove under a banner advertising sign-up for Pre-K schooling and passed electronic signs on the side of the road, lit up with “Pray for Uvalde” and “Uvalde Strong”.
