    News Uvalde, Texas school shooting: 14 students, one teacher killed, suspected shooter dead, Gov. Abbott says

    By Greg Norman and Louis Casiano - FOX News


    A shooting at a Texas elementary school killed 14 children and one teacher Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott said.

    Abbott identified the suspect as Salvador Ramas, a Uvalde resident, who is also dead.

    The Texas Department of Public Safety and Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told Fox News that the shooter – who ran to Robb Elementary School – had become barricaded inside. Uvalde Memorial Hospital confirmed that two people were brought to the hospital deceased.

    Fifteen children were taken to the facility via ambulance or bus for treatment, a hospital spokesman told Fox News.

    "There is an active shooter at Robb Elementary. Law enforcement is on site," the school posted on Facebook shortly after shots rang out. "Your cooperation is needed at this time by not visiting the campus."

    No information on the suspected shooter or the victim was released. The school is located 80 miles west of San Antonio.

    University Health in San Antonio said it received two patients – a child and a 66-year-old woman who is in critical condition. The condition of the child was not released. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been briefed on the shooting.

    The agency is also coordinating with local and state authorities.

    The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District first reported the school lockdown at 11:43 a.m. local time.

    "Please know at this time all campuses are under a Lockdown Status due to gunshots in the area. The students and staff are safe in the buildings," the district had said in a message to parents.

    The district asked parents not to pick up their children and that students needed to be accounted for before being released. Parents were notified to pick up their children around 2 p.m.

    All district and campus activities, including after-school programs and events have been canceled. Parents are being asked to pick up their children at their regular dismissal times at their school campus. School bus transportation has also been canceled.

    Police officers will escort students to the parent vehicles.

    The type of gun has nothing to do with it. You are not helping when you focus on the tool used to commit the crime. This shooter was obviously sick and needed help, help which he did not get. We have an epidemic of mental health issues in this country that go unchecked and nobody wants to talk about it. Everybody wants to use these tragedies to push their fucking agendas and it is disgusting. It is not helping. We are not discussing how to keep our children safe. If our elected politicians had kids in a school, that school would be locked down tighter than a virgin's twat while wearing a chastity belt. Why can't every school be like that? Why aren't people asking these questions?

    And Jesus Christ! Biden's on the fucking tv ranting about the gun lobby. That fucking soulless prick.

    The type of gun is relevant to my point. Obviously vanilla handgun restrictions are not going to be on any serious agenda.

    Update Social media accounts linked to alleged mass killer paint disturbing picture

    By Ashlyn Messier | Fox News




    Authorities identified Salvador Ramos as the shooter who opened fire in Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday. The 18-year-old shot and killed at least 19 students and two teachers, Fox News confirmed.

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott identified Ramos as the shooter and said the Uvalde local entered the school grounds and proceeded to open fire. Abbott also said the shooter is dead and is believed to have acted alone.

    Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told Fox News that during the shooting, Ramos became barricaded inside the elementary school. An agent with the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC), is believed to have shot and killed the suspected gunman. Two officers were shot and wounded on scene but were expected to survive.

    Ramos allegedly posted disturbing images online before the shooting, and apparently messaged a woman about his plans before he carried out the deadly attack.



    An Instagram account allegedly connected to Ramos featured disturbing photos, including one showing a high-capacity magazine. The Instagram account has since been taken down.

    The same account allegedly sent alarming messages to a woman before the deadly attack. The first message, sent on May 12, asked, "You gonna repost my gun pics?" The woman was tagged in photos showing guns.

    The woman continued to message the account allegedly connected to Ramos even though she said she did not know him.











    In one message, she described the exchange as "scary." She then continued, "I barely know you and u tag me in a picture with some guns."

    The account sent a final message to the woman on Tuesday morning: "Ima air out."

    Following the attack, the woman posted that she did not know the alleged shooter and that she does not live in Texas. She said she only corresponded with the account because she was afraid. She then expressed sympathy for the victims and their families.



    Tuesday's shooting marked the deadliest shooting at an elementary school since Sandy Hook in 2012, where then 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people at the Newtown, Connecticut school. 20 of the victims were children aged 6 and 7.

    It also occurred 10 days after a mass shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York, claimed 10 lives.

    New Disturbing Details Emerge About Shooter Who Attacked Texas Elementary School

    By Ryan Saavedra - The Daily Wire




    New disturbing details emerged late on Tuesday evening about the 18-year-old male who shot up an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, earlier in the day.

    The suspect was quickly killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent who reportedly heard the shots and rushed into the building, but not before the suspect shot dozens of people, including at least 19 children who ultimately succumbed to their injuries.

    A report in The Washington Post about the suspect, whom The Daily Wire is not naming due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass killers, painted a familiar portrait of a violent individual who appears to have previous encounters with law enforcement officials.

    The Washington Post, which reported that the mass murderer was bullied for wearing black eyeliner and having a lisp according to family and friends, reported that those closest to the suspect said that he had “lashed out violently against peers and strangers recently and over the years.”

    The suspect, a Latino male, reportedly cut up his own face with a knife because he claimed that it was “fun,” according to one of the suspect’s former friends.

    The friend indicated that the suspect drove around with another friend at night on multiple occasions and shot at random people with a BB gun.

    One of his female classmates said that he posted a video to Instagram a couple of months ago “where the cops were there and he’d call his mom a b**** and say she wanted to kick him out. He’d be screaming and talking to his mom really aggressively.”

    “As he grew older, problems at home became more acute and more apparent to neighbors,” The report said. “A neighbor described seeing police at the house and witnessing blowups between [the suspect] and his mother.”

    The female classmate said that she could recall at least five times that the suspect had “fistfights with peers in middle school and junior high.”

    The suspect had chaotic relationships, including one friendship that quickly ended because he started talking about the friend killing people as a Marine.

    Democrats immediately seized on the tragedy as many called for new gun control laws, while other Democrats used it as a cudgel to attack Republicans.

    The shooting happened in the city of Uvalde, which is approximately 85 miles west of San Antonio and has a population of roughly 16,000 people.

    “Texans across the state are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime and for the community of Uvalde,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott said. “Cecilia and I mourn this horrific loss and we urge all Texans to come together to show our unwavering support to all who are suffering.”

    “We thank the courageous first responders who worked to finally secure Robb Elementary School,” he continued. “I have instructed the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers to work with local law enforcement to fully investigate this crime. The Texas Division of Emergency Management is charged with providing local officials all resources necessary to respond to this tragedy as the State of Texas works to ensure the community has what it needs to heal.”

    Local news report that he killed his grandmother in the morning before school, then ran from police, crashed his truck, then went into the elementary school while evading police. As always, hard to pin down any real timeline.
