Five of the 17 children and adults injured in last week’s mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde are still being treated in hospitals across San Antonio more than a week after the massacre.

As of Wednesday morning, a spokesperson at University Hospital in San Antonio said the facility is still treating three patients. A 66-year-old woman and a 9-year-old girl are both in good condition, while a 10-year-old girl remains in serious condition. A fourth child had been discharged as of Friday, May 27. The 10-year-old girl and elderly woman had both arrived at the hospital in serious condition, according to the hospital.

Two adults injured in the shooting remain at Brooke Army Medical Center and are in good condition, spokesperson Bob Whetstone said Wednesday. Both had arrived at the hospital in serious condition, according to a post on the medical center’s Facebook page last week.

“We continue to pray for comfort and strength for all affected by this terrible tragedy in the weeks and months ahead,” Brooke Army Medical Center representatives said on Twitter on Monday.
