The shooter who killed 14 children and a teacher in a massacre at an Elementary School in Texas has been named as a local teenager. In the United States, elementary schools usually educate pupils aged between 5 and 11 years old.
State governor Greg Abbott said that the shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was now dead after “swift action” was taken by law enforcement at the scene. Officials in Texas say the killer shot his own grandmother before heading to the school, of which he was once himself a pupil.
“The shooter is no longer alive,” Mr Abbott said. “The shooter was Salvador Ramos, an 18-year-old male who resided in Uvalde.”
