    Fourteen students and a teacher are dead after a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, according to Gov. Greg Abbott.

    The 18-year-old suspect, a student at Uvalde High School, is also dead, he said.

    "He shot and killed horrifically and incomprehensibly 14 students and killed a teacher," Abbott said during an unrelated press briefing.

    The suspect also allegedly shot his grandmother before entering the school and again opening fire, Abbott said. He did not say anything further about her condition.

    Abbott said the shooter had a handgun and also possibly a rifle.

    Another day in Amercia.

    Permissive laws + accessibility + gun culture = repeated shootings.

    Will anything ever be done to prevent such bloodshed?

    Not sure what can be done about a nut with a hand gun. Scary how easy it is to walk onto a school campus when you have you no business there.

    I’d love to blame abbot, but taking a handgun into a school could happen anyplace

    School shootings aren't unique to Texas / red states / even America, so stuff it.

    Border Patrol was involved over 30 miles from the border. The FBI quickly showed up.

    Cover Up in progress.

    Trayvon Martin had a gun and no one said a word, so let’s knock off the gun talk and blame the shooter, Salvador Ramos. With a name like that it’s going to be hard to blame this on the people the left always want to blame for everything.

    My condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims.

    I wonder if Biden is going to blame it on lethal white supremacists.

    I've heard both "Salvador Ramos" and "Salvador Torres". Not sure which is accurate (if either). There was some confusing initial reporting on this incident, like this:

    Michael Board on Twitter: "Spoke with a Uvalde business owner, a few blocks away from Robb Elementary. Said it was a chase with border patrol. Four shots fired then police fired back. Man ran to school and hid inside. He saw kids being evacuated out a window. Confirmed that shooter is in custody." / Twitter

    It'll probably be a bit before we get a decent picture of what really happened.

    Fox website has it as "Ramas"

    edit - must be a typo, I do see Ramos elsewhere

    When are liberals going to stop whining about the 2nd Amendment and add repeal of the 2nd Amendment to the DNC national platform?

    let's get this straight.

    culture of victimization + inattentive parents/authority + media glorification of violence = violence among our youth

    when i was quite young you could get a gun almost anywhere and i certainly don't remember school shootings and such. what has changed to make our society so prone to violence?

    Remove the element in that sentence without which 15 people would still be alive. That's what we can do!

    Your side controls both houses and the potus. Time for stupid Xoe to do something. Anything but but but he won’t. See the Dems use gun control as a talking point around election time. Same with race and abortion.
    If the Dems actually did something then they lose a talking point.

    BTW, just checked all 13 of my firearms and none have yet killed anybody nor has one even fired a single round in anger. I’m thinking it just might be the shooters and not the guns?????

    So many on The left standing on these peoples graves alrdy politicizing it. Not shocking. Regardless I have no doubt the 2A is here to stay. If we want to stop this stuff then I think private security is the future

    private security should be looked into quite a bit

    I am going to guess that the family was afraid of him and did not pursue 5150
