At least 14 schoolchildren and one teacher have been killed in a shooting at a primary school in the US state of Texas, Governor Greg Abbott said, in the latest mass shooting in the United States.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday afternoon, Abbott said an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a small community just over an hour west of San Antonio.
The US goes ballistic: America’s gun epidemic
end of list
“He shot and killed – horrifically, incomprehensibly – 14 students and killed one teacher,” Abbott said.

Abbott said the gunman was himself killed, apparently by police officers responding to the scene.

Local police earlier said the shooting began at around noon local time (17:00 GMT).

Uvalde Memorial Hospital had said on Facebook earlier on Tuesday that 13 children had been transferred there for treatment. It said two people were deceased on arrival.


Gun violence has been a problem across the US for decades, drawing condemnation and calls for tougher restrictions, especially in the aftermath of mass shootings at schools.

The US reported 19,350 firearm homicides in 2020, up nearly 35 percent compared to 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in its latest data.

Crazy country.

Golan007:
Crazy country.

I swear
Even in Syria and Iraq, the so called Terrorists don’t go to elementary schools

Main reason why USA is a big NO then plus high cost of healthcare..

The injured victims are likely to pay for there healthcare

this will continue as long as the gun policy is not reviewed....too many guns in the hands of psychos

When the republiqans keep indoctrinating their kids towards Gun violence this is what you get. When the NRA is the lifeblood of the republiqans this is what you get. When Texas can allow toddlers, and even mentally ill patients to open carry guns this is what you get. When pro life fakers care more about the fetus inside the womb than a kid gunned down by the guns they passionately want in the hands of everyone..this is what you get

Terrorists country

The republicans have blood on their hands.

They are quick to pull up prayers whenever a school shooting happens, they are are quick to fight stricter gun laws.

Republican politicians and their family including kids posing with assault machine guns.

can't this idiot people change their gun laws! they are no more living in the 1800's with their slaves when the second amendment was necessary! they can still be a first world country and not need guns, look at Japan! UK, Canada and co... so heartbroken to hear 18 little kids dead, like the pain of it sef!

The Republican gun policy is playing a huge part in the gun violence in the US.I am not suprised Texas is a Republican-controlled state.If anything happents to my uncle, Greg Abbot would be in for it I will kidnap his wife and kids then demand for Texas total GDP as ransom

Mad news like this one will never come from sane country like Russia.
Killing elementary kids? Giving guns to mad citizens could be US means of controlling population growth.

USA is a Shithole country
