“For all of us, the horrific scenes in Uvalde are the latest example of an ongoing problem facing our country. However, for the loved ones of the children and teachers who lost their lives on Tuesday, it was a singular tragedy that will be felt for a lifetime,” said Houston Dynamo FC and Houston Dash majority owner Ted Segal. “Our club stands with our counterparts in Austin and Dallas in an effort to offer some measure of comfort to the families, survivors and the entire Uvalde community. Beyond the efforts of our soccer clubs, we urge our elected officials to take meaningful action to honor the lives needlessly lost in Uvalde and in preventable shootings across the United States.”
