and unimaginable loss. young children full of enthusiasm and hope for their future. this next saturday on the 4th, she would have been 10. a look at who was lost this week. hello, i m dana bash in uvalde, texas, where the state of our union is so sad and wondering when enough will really be enough? i m joining you today from a community in shock. a community grieving the 21 people brutally murdered in an elementary school on wednesday. a community so overwhelmed by loss, the parents of 9, 10 and 11-year-olds have to wait weeks to bury their own children because the funeral homes are so busy dealing with the small, broken bodies from robb elementary school rooms 111 and 112. as these patients learn about the excruciating delay by law enforcement officials who waited outside the door where children were trapped with the gunman as they learn about a young man who made violent threats but able to buy a weapon of war. as they call for action from their elected official it is
