Ten-year-old Xavier Lopez has been identified as one of the victims killed at Robb Elementary School, his mother Felicha Martinez confirmed to the Washington Post.
“He was funny, never serious and his smile,” Martinez said about the fourth grader, her voice breaking. “That smile I will never forget. It would always cheer anyone up.”
Just a few days shy of completing his last year of elementary school, Xavier was counting the days until he would officially move up the academic ladder into Flores Middle School in Uvalde.
“He really couldn’t wait to go to middle school,” his mother said.
His dreams seemed so close on Tuesday at Robb Elementary School’s honor roll ceremony. Martinez was there to cheer him on as Xavier’s name was called to receive his certificate. Mere hours before the tragedy, Martinez snapped a photo of Xavier.
She told him she was proud and that she loved him before hugging him goodbye. She said she did not imagine that would be the last moment she would share with her “mama’s boy.”

Rice wrote:WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! Texas republican keeps saying we need to concentrate on mental health, not gun control. WTF, nếu ko bán súng lớn cho bọn khùng nó bắn dễ dàng thì làm gì con nít chết 1 cách dễ dàng . Con nít chết ở Mỹ vì súng đạn nhiều hơn bịnh tật hay tai nạn, WTF! các nước văn minh khác họ ko bị problem này
