As the news of a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday continues to travel far and wide, faith leaders across the nation are sharing their reactions, prayers, words and insights with Fox News Digital.

"Texans across the state are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime and for the community of Uvalde," the governor said in a statement. "Cecilia and I mourn this horrific loss … We urge all Texans to come together to show our unwavering support to all who are suffering."
