Josh Reynolds was relaxing in his hotel room after the first day of Organized Team Activities when news of the Uvalde school shooting pinged his phone Tuesday.
Immediately, Reynolds called his mother, Michele.
Reynolds, in his second season with the Detroit Lions, grew up in San Antonio, about an hour east of Uvalde. He remembers playing AAU basketball events in the city, though not at Robb Elementary, where a lone gunman killed 19 students and two teachers in the deadliest school shooting in the United States since Sandy Hook in 2012.
Michele Reynolds is an assistant principal at San Antonio's Taft High School who spent years teaching at another high school in the district.
