Families of Uvalde victims to make ‘important announcement’ nearly two years to the day after Robb Elementary shooting

SAN ANTONIO — Family members of Robb Elementary shooting victims and survivors, alongside their attorneys, plan to make an “important announcement” Wednesday, just two days before marking two years since the attack in which 21 people were killed. 

The briefing will be held at the SSGT Willie de Leon Civic Center in Uvalde at noon. The families will be joined by attorneys from Connecticut-based firm Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder and San Antonio-based Guerra LLP. No other details have been provided about the announcement. 

Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder was involved in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, playing a pivotal part in the $73 million settlement reached with Remington, the maker of the rifle used in that tragedy. 

Previous lawsuits filed in relation to the Uvalde shooting include a $27 billion lawsuit announced in November 2022 by parents and guardians of children who were on campus during the shooting but weren’t in the classrooms when the gunman attacked. 

Those plaintiffs are suing several entities, including Uvalde police, the City of Uvalde and others. 

The city also filed a lawsuit against Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell over failure to release information they said was vital for their internal investigation led by Austin-based detective Jesse Prado; his report ultimately exonerated city personnel who were at the shooting.
