UVALDE, Texas — Dr. Roy Guerrero, the only pediatrician in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 schoolchildren and two teachers were killed by a gunman on May 24, discussed the shooting, his thoughts on the Second Amendment and his testimony Wednesday before Congress in an exclusive interview with ABC News.
Guerrero lost five of his young patients in the shooting, two of which he knew since they were 5 days old. Now “they’re gone,” he said.
Two weeks ago, Miah survived the shooting by wiping the blood of her dead classmates on herself and playing dead. She was treated for shrapnel injuries at the hospital within hours of the shooting. Guerrero, who grew up in Uvalde hunting with his father, a ranch foreman, questioned whether people have a right to weapons that are made to destroy and kill and meant for war.
After finishing medical school, Guerrero moved back to Uvalde to set up his pediatric clinic on the back side of his home. He had promised his mother that he would serve the tight-knit community.
