U.S. President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden are expected to speak in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to mark the one-year anniversary of an elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, 2022.

An 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School last year, killing 19 children and at least two adults while leaving several others wounded.

The attack was the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. in nearly a decade, with the police response drawing public anger and frustration as more information about immediate responses from authorities came to light.

In the wake of a series of mass shootings in California at the beginning of the year, including the nation’s deadliest act of gun violence since the May 24 mass shooting, families from Uvalde pleaded with new urgency for tougher gun laws.

There have been dozens of shootings and other attacks in U.S. schools and colleges over the years, with the number of shootings including schools and over 10 fatalities mounting.
