Good morning.

Here's a look at today's show .
Below, Texas Newsroom reporter Sergio Martinez-Beltrán reflects on what we know and still don't know nearly a month after the massacre in Uvalde.
29 days.
That’s how long it’s been since a gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, killing 19 students and two teachers and injuring over a dozen more.
29 days.
That’s how many days have passed since what’s become Texas’ deadliest school shooting. And yet, we have more questions than answers about what led an 18-year-old man to commit this crime.
But we have even more questions about law enforcement’s response to the shooting.
The day after the shooting, Gov. Greg Abbott got on a stage in Uvalde and praised police officers for confronting the shooter – a detail that turned out to not be true.
Twenty-nine days after the shooting, new details are emerging: Officers on scene had enough resources to
[link removed]
confront the shooter within three minutes ; the door to the classroom where officers believed the suspect had locked himself in was actually unlocked, and
[link removed]
officers never even tried to open it ; more than 70 minutes passed between
[link removed]
when officers entered the school and when they killed the gunman .
These are the details that came out during Tuesday’s Senate hearing in Austin, the first time we heard Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw testify in public. At the same time, Pete Arredondo, the chief of police of Uvalde schools and the incident commander on scene during the massacre, was testifying behind closed doors in front of a House panel.
There are too many unanswered questions still. The families of the victims are asking for information. The government continues to withhold most of it from them.
It’s been 29 days since an 18-year-old gunman entered Robb Elementary and used a semi-automatic rifle to kill 19 kids and two teachers.
I really hope we don’t forget them. We will continue asking questions. We want to hear from you.

Baylor County
Founded: 1879
County seat: Seymour
Population: 3,465
Alas:Well, this is a little embarrassing, but was bound to happen: a thorough search of the Standard archives turns up no posts from Baylor County. No stories slugged
[link removed]
Seymour , "the crossroads of North Texas." No datelines from
[link removed]
Bomarton , population 15. And no stories out of Mabelle either, where Elvis Presley

famously fueled up one night.
Any folks with ties to Baylor County? Anything we're missing from the area? Stories that need to be told?
