Teacher killed in Texas school shooting identified as Eva Mireles; What we know about victims

Fourth-grade teacher Eva Mireles was killed along with at least 18 children at Robb Elementary School.

UVALDE, Texas — Fourth-grade teacher Eva Mireles was killed along with at least 18 children in a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The shooter’s grandmother was also killed before the Robb Elementary School attack.

Mireles worked in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District for 17 years, her aunt, Lydia Martinez Delgado, said in a statement.

“I’m furious that these shootings continue. these children are innocent. Rifles should not be easily available to all. This is my hometown, a small community of less than 20,000. I never imagined this would happen to especially loved ones … All we can do is pray hard for our country, state, schools, and especially the families of all,” her aunt, Lydia Martinez Delgado, said in a statement.

She was a mother and wife who loved running and hiking, according to Robb Elementary School’s website.
