These two tragedies share similarities, including certain aspects of the suspects and how the weapons were accessed.

Joe Garcia had dropped off flowers at his wife's memorial on Thursday, The New York Times reported. He "pretty much just fell over" after returning home and died of a heart attack, his nephew said.

"The children!" cries Linda Martinez, a retired pastor who came to the scene with a bouquet of flowers. "So young. I just can't believe it's real. We just have to help each other."

The Texas elementary school where 19 children were killed Tuesday served primarily Latino students.

A father whose fourth-grade daughter was killed in the attack, said he raced to the school and raised the idea of charging into the school with several other bystanders.

Tuesday's attack at Robb Elementary School took the lives of 21 people. An additional 17 people were injured.

Both survivors share their criticism of how, even years after shootings at their schools, no changes have been made to address mass gun violence in America.

The 19 students and two teachers killed in the Uvalde, Texas, shooting were all in the same classroom, Lt. Christopher Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN on Wednesday.

Melissa Brymer says talking to kids about school shootings can be upsetting; you may need to have conversations in small chunks for them to understand.

The community is looking for blood donations, legal assistance and funds for victims' families.
