Updates

After rushing into a Texas elementary school on Tuesday, a teen gunman killed at least 19 children and two adults, the latest case of gun-fueled mass murder in the United States and the country’s bloodiest school shooting in nearly a decade. Several people are hurt, including children. Some people are in grave danger.

After initial reports of the death toll were mixed up, the state attorney general’s office said that 18 children and two adults, including the gunman, had died. A spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Public Safety later told CNN that 19 students and two adults were killed, not including the perpetrator.

According to Pete Arredondo, chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department, who also addressed the media, the school’s student population comprises youngsters in the second, third, and fourth grades. Pupils in those grades were most likely between the ages of 7 and 10.

He also stated that the 18-year-old suspect, a Uvalde High School student, is also dead.

“He shot and killed 14 students in a brutal and incomprehensible manner, as well as a teacher,” Abbott said during a separate press conference.

According to Abbott, the guy also shot his grandmother before entering the school and opened fire again. He made no additional comment concerning her health.

Abbott stated that the shooter used a pistol and maybe a rifle.

“After parents leave their children off at school, they have every expectation that they will be able to pick up their child when the school day is over. And there are families that are now in grief “Abbott stated. “The state of Texas mourns with them for the fact that these parents will be unable to pick up their children.”

According to Abbott, two responding police officers were among those injured. He believed that they would survive.

In the aftermath of the event, Uvalde Memorial Hospital reported that 15 students were being treated in the hospital’s emergency department. According to the hospital, two patients were taken to San Antonio for treatment, while a third was awaiting transportation. According to the hospital, a 45-year-old man was also hospitalized after being grazed by a gunshot.

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin did not confirm casualties, but said in a text message to ABC News that “this is a really bad situation.” He stated that the administration is attempting to contact parents before disclosing any information.

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District had previously stated that a shooter was located at Robb Elementary School and requested residents to avoid the area.

The school district tweeted, “There is an active shooter at Robb Elementary.” “Law enforcement is on the scene. Your assistance is required at this time through refraining from visiting the campus. More information will be released as soon as it is obtained.”

We’ve heard it was a police chase with a bailout, and the one bailout went to the school. We are not sure if that’s true or not.

We’ve also heard that it was a man who showed up there to kill his mom. Instagram posts exist. We’ll know until we have an official report.
