UVALDE, Texas — An 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 18 children, officials said, and the gunman was dead.
The gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde with a handgun and possibly a rifle, Gov. Greg Abbott said. Officials did not immediately reveal a motive, but the governor identified the assailant as Salvador Ramos and said he was a resident of the heavily Latino community about 85 miles west of San Antonio.
The gunman in Uvalde “shot and killed, horrifically, incomprehensibly, 14 students, and killed a teacher,” the governor said, adding that two officers were also wounded but were expected to survive.It was not immediately clear how many people were wounded, but Arredondo said there were “several injuries.” Earlier, Uvalde Memorial Hospital said 13 children were taken there. Another hospital reported a 66-year-old woman was in critical condition.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden was briefed on the shooting on Air Force One as he returned from a five-day trip to Asia. Biden was scheduled to deliver remarks Tuesday evening at the White House. In 2018, a gunman fatally shot 10 people at Santa Fe High School in the Houston area. A year before that, a gunman at a Texas church killed more than two dozen people during a Sunday service in the small town of Sutherland Springs. In 2019, another gunman at a Walmart in El Paso killed 23 people in a racist attack.

Texas governor: 15 killed in school shooting; gunman deadTexas Gov. Greg Abbott says 15 people were killed in a shooting Tuesday at an elementary school. The suspected shooter, an 18-year-old man, also died and was believed to be killed by responding officers Ya but what skin color was the shooter, because if I don't know I won't know how to react, but I'm guessing it wasn't a white man or it would be in the headline 15 dead. Armed security, Bullet proof windows, doors, metal detectors and school is locked when in session. What more can be done to prevent this kind of devastating tragedy? Is this too much to ask for tax dollars to be spent on President Biden?
