Fourteen schoolchildren and a teacher at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas have been killed after a gunman invaded the school.

Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott confirmed the killing which was done by the 18-year-old suspect, a student at Uvalde High School, who is also dead.

“He shot and killed horrifically and incomprehensibly 14 students and killed a teacher,” Abbott said during an unrelated press briefing.

The suspect also allegedly shot and killed his grandmother before entering the school and again opening fire.

Abbott said the shooter — identified by law enforcement sources and the governor as Salvador Ramos — had a handgun and also possibly a rifle.
