Uvalde holds vigil to honor victims of school shooting

In Uvalde, Texas, the community is responding in a way that characterizes this close-knit ranching town: together. On Wednesday night, they held a vigil to honor the fallen.

NPR national correspondent John Burnett was there. He joins host Peter O’Dowd to describe the scene there and to explain some new details about how the shooting happened.
