Homeroom teachers were being hailed as heroes Wednesday, a day after a teenage gunman stormed a Texas elementary school, barricaded himself inside a classroom and callously murdered 19 students and two of their instructors.
With just days left before summer break, gory details emerged about the carnage at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, where authorities searched for clues to answer the question on the hearts and minds of parents from every corner of the country: “Why?”
Even the gunman’s own messages, posted online just minutes before the onslaught, gave little insight about his motive. Authorities said 18-year-old shooter Salvador Ramos, who shot his own grandmother before setting his sights on the school, posted three Facebook messages before the attack.
