UVALDE, Texas—The school in which 19 children and two teachers were massacred on May 24 had been in lockdown four times in the month prior to the shooting, according to Uvalde, Texas, Mayor Don McLaughlin.
Schools in the whole district had been in lockdown mode 47 times since February because of the border crisis spilling into the city, which is a smuggling corridor from the U.S.–Mexico border to San Antonio, a recent Texas House of Representatives report states.
