Washington, May 30 (TIWN) Residents of Washington, D.C. paid tribute to the 22 victims of last week's mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

Organizers displayed 21 empty chairs standing for 19 children and two teachers killed in the Uvalde shootout on a lawn outside a local church.  A lady read their names one by one, echoed by residents attending the memorial at noon.  U.S. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden traveled to Uvalde on Sunday to meet with families of the victims and survivors of the massacre.  They also visited a memorial constructed outside Robb Elementary School -- the site of the horrific shooting that occurred on Tuesday.  A Texas official told reporters on Friday that local police made the "wrong decision" by waiting nearly an hour to breach the school classroom where 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos took shots at children and teachers before he was neutralized by law enforcement.
