Wearing a shirt bearing his granddaughter's name and a button with her face, Vincent Salazar arrived at the Uvalde civic centre around noon Sunday to learn what a Texas legislative committee had determined about the day she died.
"Every single day. The report doesn't change anything." The committee had prepared a 77-page report that detailed failure after failure from the authorities during the 24 May attack.
The committee's chairman, state representative and Lubbock Republican Dustin Burrows said the report was a small step forward, a shared set of facts.
"There were multiple systemic failures," Burrows said Sunday, adding that other state house committees could do more to investigate who is to blame for some of those failures.
While a steady stream of families came to pick up copies of the report, others from all over Texas visited the makeshift memorial outside Robb elementary school.
Because the committee prioritized questions from the media, none of the community members at the meeting were able to ask their questions.
"It's disheartening. These families, they're looking for closure. It's just going to drag on." Even with his low expectations, Salazar said he was upset after reading about how little the committee did to provide accountability for the massacre that killed his granddaughter.
