Uvalde victim’s husband dies of heart attack

Fourth-grade teacher Irma Garcia was killed in her Texas classroom on Wednesday, massacred along with her co-teacher and 19 students. Two days later, a family member says her brokenhearted husband died. The motive for the massacre – the nation’s deadliest school shooting since Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago – remained under investigation, with authorities saying the 18-year-old gunman had no known criminal or mental health history. The alleged shooter, Salvador Ramos, was inside the Robb Elementary School classroom in Uvalde for more than an hour before he was killed in a shootout, authorities said yesterday. Joe Garcia, 50, had dropped off flowers at his wife’s memorial yesterday, The New York Times reported. He ‘‘pretty much just fell over’’ after returning home and died of a heart attack, his nephew John Martinez told the newspaper.
