A church in Ohio made a heartbreaking tribute to the victims of the tragic Texas school shooting on Tuesday.

United Methodist Church of Macedonia made a heartbreaking tribute to those victims, by setting up 19 chairs for students and two chair for the two teachers who were killed that day.

"Joining our broken hearts in prayer, we share this powerful witness inspired by our friends at The United Methodist Church in Berea," the church said in a post.

More details are beginning to emerge about the lives of the 19 children — “precious individuals” according to the school district superintendent — and their two teachers who were gunned down behind a barricaded door at Robb Elementary School in the southwestern Texas town of Uvalde.

One student was an avid runner, so fast she swept the races at field day. Another was learning football plays from his grandfather. One girl sensed something was wrong and wanted to skip school.

As of Thursday night, at least 18 families said they had received devastating news.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will travel to Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday to console families and honor victims.

The White House said the Bidens would "grieve with the community that lost 21 lives in the horrific" shooting at Robb Elementary School. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president would meet with the community and religious leaders and victims' families.
