'We can tell our children, our families, and our survivors we made a monumental step to make sure these lives lost were not lost in vain,' said a local mother.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A group from Santa Fe will be joining President Joe Biden for a ceremony on the new federal gun safety law Monday four years after a deadly high school shooting that claimed the lives of eight students and two teachers.
Christina Delgado, the mother of a local student, Rhonda Hart, who lost her daughter in the 2018 shooting, and Flo Rice, who was injured, will all be at the White House.Delgado has been working with the families of victims and injured survivors from the May 18, 2018 shooting. She said she knew she had to act when her daughter, who was in 7th grade at the time, asked her how she was going to be safe going to school.
Rice and her husband Scot were also invited to the Capitol. She was a substitute art teacher that day, was severely injured in the school shooting. The new gun reform bill, which was passed by Congress exactly one month after the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, includes $750 million to help states implement"red flag" laws that would take guns away from those deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.
