Over the course of the last two weeks, Americans have been rocked by two tragic, mass shootings. The first took place on May 14 in Buffalo, New York at a Tops Market, killing 10 people. The next shooting took place on May 24th<\/sup> at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed. Our hearts break for the families that have lost children and loved ones in Uvalde, and for those that have lost their loved ones in the racially motivated attack in Buffalo.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
