A teenage gunman opened fire at an elementary school in South Texas on Tuesday, killing 18 children and three adults before the suspect was also killed, officials said, in the latest spasm of mass gun violence sweeping the United States.

Governor Greg Abbott said the suspect, identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was apparently killed by police officers responding to the scene, and that two officers were struck by gunfire, though the governor said their injuries were not serious.Abbott told a news conference hours after the shooting that 14 schoolchildren had been slain, along with one teacher.

Official details remained sketchy about the circumstances of the late morning shooting at Robb Elementary School in the town of Uvalde, Texas, about 128 kilometers west of San Antonio. “It is being reported that the subject shot his grandmother right before he went into the school,” Abbott told reporters. “I have no further information about the connection between those two shootings.”

Why not mention the race of the gunman? Previously the sabc mentioned the race of a White Gunman..... Is it because the shooter wasn't White so the race doesn't matter now?

US should tighten their gun control policies or else more and more will die cause of people having access to guns... This is tragic.. Children shouldn't pay for a fool wanting to own a gun
