The mother of a 10-year-old girl killed in the Uvalde school shooting has filed a lawsuit against the school district, law enforcement officers, a gun manufacturer, and the store where the weapon was purchased.

Sandra Torres’ daughter Eliahna was one of 19 children and two teachers who died during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in May. Police officers were inside the school within two minutes after Salvador Ramons entered the school but waited 77 minutes to confront the 18-year-old male inside the fourth-grade classroom.
