The breaking news on local TV this afternoon hasn't had time to get details in order as yet. .... There are deaths, but number is unclear at present.

Uvalde is a small rural area of Texas near San Antonio. ... @PamfromTx

NO! No, no please, no.... @PamfromTx has family there!

Waiting to hear from her!

This all happened in the last couple hours, so there is little information.

 

[PamfromTx]

I'm sorry, been on phone.

No, I have no relatives at the Uvalde schools.

 

[RadishRose]

I'm sorry, been on phone.

No, we have no children at the Uvalde schools.

Thank God, @PamfromTx !

My babies (g-nieces) are in daycare and my g-nephew attends school in another nearby town (Sabinal). He's to graduate Friday. My heart is broken, dear friends and I can't stop crying. I haven't cried like this in years. Uvalde is suppose to be a peaceful rural town.

As many as 14 children have been killed at a Texas school by an 18-year-old gunman who who then shot dead by cops.

Governor Greg Abbott confirmed 14 students and one teacher have been killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

Thirteen children are being treated at the Uvalde Memorial emergency room as well as a 45-year-old man who suffered a 'graze.'

University Health San Antonio confirmed they received a child whose condition is currently unknown and a 66-year-old woman who is critical condition.

The shooter engaged in a firefight with border patrol before the shooting and then ran into the school and barricaded himself inside the school.

Police initially reported he was arrested before confirming he died.

Photos outside the scene show a pickup truck that crashed outside the school, it was unclear if the car belonged to the gunman.

Concerned parents were captured at the scene desperately searching for their children and video from the chaotic scene showed police arriving to the school campus with their guns in hand.

One widely shared video appears to show the suspected gunman approach the school while what sounds like gunfire is going off in the background.

Hubby's 2 g-nephews and 1 g-niece attend another elementary school (Anthon) that is located close to this particular one. They are home, safe and traumatized.

The school year ends for so many at the end of the week around here ... and I hate to see such news today

Just now on MSNBC....14 children and 1 teacher dead.

Acquaintance said shooter hated immigrants.

 

[oldman]

Did I hear that he also killed his grandparents?

I think many Americans have been waiting for something like this to happen. It probably won’t be the last one. Sure has been a big uptick in violence the last several months.

Feeling sad right now for these innocent children, the teacher, and the parents.

 

[Pepper]

Since the shooter is the age of a lot of our grandchildren, it appears to me that his parents, our children, were raised by us in some helter-skelter environment. Our children produced these maniacs.

 

[oldman]

We have got to be more careful who we sell guns to. Obviously, we have a lot of really sick people walking among us. I don’t want to sound like I’m acting with a knee jerk reaction, but we should consider longer waiting periods and more comprehensive mental testing before we hand anyone a gun. Just because someone has never undergone counseling shouldn’t mean that he’s an OK guy.

Problem is too many people know how to trick or deceive when taking a psychologist test.

They did verify that he did kill his grandmother before he shot those little kids.

Problem is the extreme 2nd Amenders who insist anyone, for any reason, can buy a gun with no waiting period and the politicians who support these notions, because they are too cowardly to lead.

Unfortunately, this happens everyday. I think most people are almost numbed by the pervasive gun violence in our society. Certainly doesn't surprise me it happened in Texas.

Did it surprise you when it happened in NYState? In Connecticut? No state is immune.

To me, this 18 yr old looks a lot like the 18 yr old shooter in Buffalo!

I forgot what the Buffalo shooter looks like, or even his name. The only one I remember is Adam whats-his-name because his mother wanted him to have a gun & he was so obviously out of it.
