Two years ago, a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in one of the deadliest school shootings in history.

The details wracked the community, the state and the nation. Authorities waited 77 minutes before entering the classroom and killing the shooter. He kept killing children in the meantime.

In the moments, days, and years since, investigations, hearings, news reports and lawsuits introduced a stunned nation to a group of Texans, from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Uvalde County District Attorney's Office to police, politicians and parents.

These are the stories of some of those involved in the shooting's aftermath, where they have been, and where they are now.
