Another Mass Shooting In Texas
We are sad to report the death of 18 children and 3 adults in another mass shooting in Texas. Sen. Roland Gutierrez said he was briefed by state police on the latest fatalities. Officials said the gunman was also killed. A Border Patrol agent who was nearby when the shooting began rushed into the school without waiting for backup and shot and killed the gunman, who was behind a barricade, according to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about it.
According to KHOU-11, The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District said the active shooter situation was reported at Robb Elementary School, which has an enrollment of just under 600 students, just before noon. They said all campuses were placed under lockdown due to the gunfire. Officials said second, third and fourth graders attend the school.
According to a CBS News report, Ramos killed his grandmother before going to the school and opening fire. The report said he had a handgun and an AR-15 rifle with high-capacity magazines. They also believe that the alleged shooter, Salvador Ramos, had acted alone in the attack.
This is very sad time in America when you can send your kid to school only to be shot with an assault rifle. According to Gov. Greg Abbott, the 18-year-old shooter abandoned his vehicle and entered the school with at least one gun and opened fire. Abbott said the shooter is believed to be Salvador Ramos, who is from Uvalde.
