Hours after a gunman entered Robb Elementary School andkilled 21 peopleTuesday afternoon, several parents in Uvalde, Texas, received the horrific news that their children had died in the attack.
But for four households, the grief went beyond losing a child: Two sets of cousins were in the classroom where the gunman opened fire, doubling the pain for the families involved.
Jailah Nicole Sigulero, 10, and Jayce Carmelo Luevanos, 10, were in the same class when their lives were cut tragically short — exactly one week after the cousins had both lost their grandfather.
Jailah loved to dance and loved TikTok videos; Jayce was a comedian who always had a smile on his face.
