Tuesday on Political Rewind: Georgia-based Daniel Defense is facing widespread criticism, after the gun it manufactured was used in the Uvalde massacre. Meanwhile, Herschel Walker's response to the shooting is fodder for Democrats and reports say Trump is mad over primary losses.

Because Uvalde is so small, a local Justice of the Peace had the horrible task of identifying slain kids after the deadly shooting at Robb Elementary School. He says the images will stick with him.

Irma Garcia was one of two teachers killed at Robb Elementary last week. Then, two days later, her husband of 24 years died of a heart attack, leaving their four children without parents.

Nine-year-old Aubriella Melchor said she narrowly escaped the slaughter because she'd been in the bathroom. At a gas station, Christian bikers joined the girl and her mother to pray.

Texas has tightened security at schools considerably over the past four years. But the new protective measures came up short earlier this week in Uvalde.

School safety experts have coalesced around a handful of important measures communities and politicians can take to protect students.

Joe Garcia had dropped off flowers at his wife's memorial on Thursday, The New York Times reported. He "pretty much just fell over" after returning home and died of a heart attack, his nephew said.

These two tragedies share similarities, including certain aspects of the suspects and how the weapons were accessed.
