'I'm disgusted with this community,' said a mother of one of the victims.
Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Hal Harrell -- along with other school officials and local law enforcement -- has faced intense scrutiny over the handling of the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School, one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.
A crowd of people gathered outside before the start of Monday's meeting to show their support for Harrell, with many holding up homemade signs, hugging him and cheering him on. "I'm disgusted with this community," said a tearful Kimberly Rubio, the mother of 10-year-old student Lexi Rubio, who was among those killed.
