  We join with other EM organizations in the following statement:

To the Emergency Medicine community,

We were all devastated to hear of the tragic shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Unfortunately this comes on the heels of recent shootings in Buffalo, New York City and Laguna Woods, California.

Our organizations all condemn this senseless act of violence and loss of life. Our hearts go out to the families of these victims as they mourn the loss of their loved ones.
