Just two (2) days before students at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, were set to begin their Summer break, an 18-year-old lone gunman rushed his way into the school on Tuesday (24th May 2022) and opened fire on classrooms of young children, killing nineteen (19) students and two (2) adults.
The gunman, identified as Salvador Ramos, a resident of Uvalde, is said to have engaged Border Patrol Agents nearby in a shootout and then barricaded himself inside the school. He was eventually killed by law enforcement and is also believed to have shot his grandmother before driving to the school and “shooting every single person that was in front of him,” said Lt. Chris Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The grandmother was hospitalized in critical condition, he said. In a National address last night, U.S. President Joe Biden called on the U.S. to turn its collective pain into political action.
Authorities are continuing to search for clues about the gunman's motive. Yesterday's tragic event marks the deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade since twenty (20) children and six (6) adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
