The death toll from the shooting at a Texas elementary school has risen to 19 children and two adults. The gunman is also dead.
Senator Roland Gutierrez said he was briefed by state police on the latest fatalities at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a heavily Latino community about 85 miles west of San Antonio. Three people wounded in the attack are in hospital in serious condition, Mr Gutierrez told The Associated Press.
It was the deadliest shooting at a US grade school since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago. And it came just 10 days after a gunman in body armour killed 10 black shoppers and workers at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, in what authorities say was a racist attack.
