UVALDE, Texas—Steve Mena, owner of a barber shop in downtown Uvalde, Texas, was about to cut Jacob Albarado’s hair when each of their wives contacted them about an active shooter at the local elementary school.

“At the same time he got a text message, I got a phone call from my wife, because we both have kids there,” Mena told The Epoch Times, seven days after the mass shooting tragedy that claimed 21 lives at Robb Elementary School.
