police response to one of the deadliest school shootings in u.s. history. >> they say they rushed in and all that. we didn't see that. >> reporter: the director of the texas department of public safety said the 18-year-old shooter was inside the school for 40 minutes to an hour before a tactical team confronted and killed him. by then two teachers and 19 children had been fatally shot, including javier casarez's 10-year-old daughter. >> as soon as they heard that gunshot, they should have rushed in. >> reporter: the siege ended when a u.s. border patrol team stormed the barricaded classroom. >> the initial officers, they received gunfire. they don't make entry initially because of the gunfire they're receiving. >> reporter: there is still constant activity here around the school two days later. people regularly showing up with flowers and cards, giving them to the patrol officers who are here, wanting to do something to show their concern about what happened. george rodriguez clutched a pig tour of his grandson, jose flores. he had waited at the

people who are not even connected to this school. >> reporter: no, you're right, good question. a lot of people who work -- or live in this community, they may work all the way out in san antonio, and so this community, it is rural, but has connections to big cities. we are seeing people who are coming from all over the region to come try to pay their respects in some way, leave something, just to show they care about what happened here. >> jason allen live in uvalde, texas. thank you for that tremendous report on a very, very difficult story. we appreciate your time, sir. today demonstrators rallied outside the u.s. capitol demanding new gun safety legislation in the wake of the texas shooting. >> they have enabled this. they are enabling gun violence with their inaction. >> senate majority leader chuck schumer says he'll allow his democratic colleagues more time to try to come up with some measure that will get bipartisan support. that means a vote won't happen until after their recess. we've been hearing from

tax-efficient savings vehicle designed to help families save for college in a very smart way. >> well, you know, this has been a rough couple of years for so many reasons. the pandemic was hard on a lot of people, a lot of people were without work, money can be very tight. what if you're one of those people who does not have a lot to spare at the end of the month? >> we understand that. at scholarship share we understand that very well. we understand all households have different budgets and different capacities for saving. but that's the wonderful thing about scholar share 529. all it takes is $1 to get an account open and about 15 minutes to get that open. it's very, very flexible. we understand that over time family budgets do change. sometimes families can only save $10 a month but ultimately through the years, they can add more. but also we have features that allow families to ask their family and friends to contribute to their own kids' college savings accounts so we try to make it really easy and flexible for families to save as much as they can before their kids go to

college, but also prevent and mitigate against unnecessary student loan debt. >> right. so what are the benefits of signing up now, even if someone has a very, very young child who's very far away from >> t soon as possib ber too te to starton thing about this period of time now is on may 29th, it's national college savings day. on national college savings day, scholarship share will offer a promotion running from may 24th through may 31st where every family who opens a new account with at least $50 will get a matching contribution of $50 so recurring contribution plan of $25 or more per month for a minimum of six months. >> that's a great deal. i know a lot of parents, myself included, taking notes on this because it's just hard to get started sometimes. but this makes it a lot easier. julio martinez with scholar

share, thank you so much for walking us through it. >> thank you for having me on. okay, so let's talk a little bit about our forecast. paul is here. saw a lot of fog rolling in different places and it definitely felt cooler, as promised. >> yeah, the cooler air that was around the bay and along the coast tomorrow -- or yesterday rather has spread out and will make itself at home as we head through tomorrow. not a whole lot of big picture changes. so fog and clouds spreading out tonight. temperatures dropping down to what's normal for this time of year. as we head into tomorrow, it's cool, rather breezy once again. that onshore breeze combining forces with the clouds to keep temperatures below average. even cooler weather on the way by the first day of the memorial day weekend. then we start warming up a little bit on sunday, a little more than that for the holiday on monday and even more than that by tuesday an wednesday of next week. right here here is all of that cloud cover from space. further inland the clouds are a little thinner and they're filtering the sunshine as opposed to blocking it.

you can see the brighter white with thicker clouds especially over the north bay and along the coast indicating the thicker clouds that have kept temperatures from warming up much farther than the 60s. clouds will spread back out. this is low cloud cover for the most part as we head into early tomorrow morning. as that packs up toward the coast, the fog will dissipate. we'll see a mix of clouds and fog tomorrow afternoon. i think it will be just a couple of degrees warmer, maybe a degree warmer around the bay but at or below what's normal for this time of year. saturday we'll watch this next system that is going to aim most of its moisture towards our north. it's going to push a dry cold front through the bay area. that's why temperatures will be a little cooler again for the first day of the holiday weekend. there is an outside chance of a couple of showers trying to sneak into the north bay. 10 to 20% chance for northern sonoma and napa counties. that's about the best we can hope for this time of year. as we head into saturday night that moves out. we'll see plenty of sunshine on sunday for the second day of the holiday weekend. looking outside, a lot of clouds, fog, hanging out behind

the buildings of downtown san francisco. temperatures mostly in the 60s. the warm spots livermore and san jose in the mid-70s, but it's even 67 in concord. you were like 97 degrees 24 hours ago. temperatures will be cool if you're heading out for the first game of the a's series against the rangers. temperatures will drop off into the upper 50s as they head through the game so layer up appropriately. temperatures dropping down to the low to mid-50s by early tomorrow morning. again, that's normal for this time of year. high temperatures on friday, the usual spread that we see from the coast to farther inland, but the warmer spots far inland and the east bay only 80 degrees. 60s around the bay with 50s along the coast. temperatures will drop just a couple degrees on saturday. san jose will drop down to around 70 degrees sunday as that northerly wind brings bay air to the santa clara valley, but temperatures especially inland will warm up, especially by tuesday and wednesday. it will be noticeable around the bay but inland temperatures into the mid and even upper 80s by midweek before we drop off again by next thursday. lots of ups and downs, sara.
