The death toll from Tuesday's shooting at a Texas elementary school has risen to 19 students and two teachers - all murdered by an 18-year-old gunman.
The gunman was shot dead by a heroic Border Patrol agent who ran into the school with a tactical support team and killed him while he was barricaded inside, and exchanging gunfire with other Texas law enforcement officers.
The gunman, Salvador Ramos - wearing body armor, equipped with a handgun and possibly a rifle - shot his grandmother before entering the school and opening fire, said Governor Greg Abbott.
The grandmother was airlifted to hospital and her condition was unknown.
One of the teachers was named by her family as Eva Mireles, 44. The second has not been named.
Ramos, who was born in North Dakota but lived in Uvalde, was a student at Uvalde High School, Abbott said.
Ramos's young victims were aged between seven and 11, CNN's Ed Lavandera reported.
On Tuesday night the father of 10-year-old Annabelle Guadalupe Rodriguez said that she was still missing.
'He shot and killed - horrifically and incomprehensibly - 14 students and killed a teacher,' Abbott said at a press briefing. The death toll was later revised to 18 children.
'There are families that are in mourning right now. And the state of Texas is in mourning with them.'
It was the deadliest such incident since 14 high school students and three adult staff were killed in Parkland, Florida in 2018 - and the worst at an elementary school since the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut, in which 20 children and six staff were killed.

Angry...Not a damn thing about mentally sick...This kid had red flag written all over him. They’re being so careful not to offend the tranny population. Grrrrrr
He/she/it isn’t worried about that tonight.
As usual, the MSM will never mention he/she/it being a tranny.
I wouldn't waste my time posting facts here if I were you. Most of the occupants of this increasingly silly clown car of a site have their own "reality" and their own prejudices that they wish to flack. Things like facts get in the way of that.
I don’t know but there was a report he killed his grandmother before going to the school.
Do not marry into that family.
I'd say a male getting surgery to be a female and taking lots of radical hormones, qualifies. They be kookoo.
And why couldn't Facebook have flagged this post immediately when it was posted on Instagram? They spend so much time and effort censoring posts for political incorrectness but can't recognize actual threats.
Believe me, I adopted a no marriage/no-co-habitation poliicy long before I stumbled into this scenario.
In the GF’s defense, she’s maintained a facade of normalcy for going on 4 years and has little to do with the upstate family drama.
Sad but true. It is pretty much unhinged from reality.
I’ve seen threads on other forums that some suspect he was groomed on Discord like the Buffalo shooter (allegedly).
Gunsel.
Seems orchestrated no doubt in my mind this is a sicko pushed to commit atrocities.
If so...watch them drop the story like a flaming bag of poo.
At my church when we have events a team of security is there. In particular where it is an event for children. We are mostly a bunch of old guys many ex military and some just adept with firearms. We kindly direct traffic and parking and “just watch.” We are all discreetly armed. All of us would lay down our lives for those innocent children and parishioners.
There are sheep and there are Sheep Dogs. We are Sheep Dogs.
Ever wonder why they let them get away with it?
That is a very good question I would love to get an answer to. I know Facebook/Instagram what really anti-gun post related after some mass shooting and essentially made posts like that all but “illegal” on their platform. How that stayed up and wasn’t flagged really is a head scratcher.
Thank you for that update. I would love to know more about the supposed shooting of his grandmother before heading to the school part of this.
