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.
“When parents drop their kids off at school, they have every expectation to know that they’re going to be able to pick their child up when that school day ends. And there are families who are in mourning right now.
“The state of Texas is in mourning with them for the reality that these parents are not going to be able to pick up their children”, Abbott said.
