Andy Murray Recalls Childhood School Shooting in Wake of Uvalde

Editor’s note: This story contains details of a mass casualty event and gun violence.

Tennis player Andy Murray recently spoke his thoughts on the recent mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., that left 21 people dead, including 19 children.

When the three-time grand slam champion was nine years old, he was present at the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.K. history. At Dunblane Primary School in Scotland in March 1996, a gunman killed 16 students, a teacher and himself. This incident led the United Kingdom to enact strict gun laws.
