UVALDE, Texas — A gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school in one of the deadliest school massacres in U.S. history barricaded himself inside a fourth-grade classroom, where all the fatalities and injuries occurred, a state official said Wednesday.
“The shooter was able to make entry into the classroom, barricaded himself inside that classroom and again just began shooting numerous children and teachers that were in that classroom,” Lt. Christopher Olivarez, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman, said on NBC’s “Today” show.
Separately, Olivarez told CNN that all those who were killed and injured were in that room.
