At least 19 children and two adults are dead after an 18-year-old opened fire at a school in the US. The massacre in Texas was carried out an elementary school, which usually educate pupils aged between five and 11 years old.
State Governor Greg Abbott said the shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was also 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.
Mr Abbott said: “The shooter is no longer alive. The shooter was Salvador Ramos, an 18-year-old male who resided in Uvalde.”
