President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump shared to social media a photo with an infant, Paul Anchondo, whose parents were killed during the El Paso shooting. The shot has earned scathing criticism on social media since it was posted last week.

Andre Anchondo and Jordan Anchondo, parents of Paul, were killed during the Walmart shooting. Paul Jamrowski, Jordan’s father, shared on the Today Show that Jordan was shielding her baby during the shooting, while Jordan’s husband was covering her.
