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.

Yes, he is. There are pictures on one of the threads.
The Fey Wray’s fault.
Have there been reports that he was born somewhere other than North Dakota?
God bless the agents
Where are his parents?
Body armor, lots of rounds fired, tactical procedures used, pre-planning, engaging law enforcement before getting killed. All by someone who’s pliable, mentally unhinged and immature.
There is very fishy about this.
“Trannies be wack” - Gays.
Hope someone has taped Alex Jones mouth shut.
North Dakota is a Sanctuary State for what that’s worth. Salvadore could be an anchor baby citizen. Any word on his bio-parents? When did he move in with Grandma in Texas? Did his tranny outfits piss her off and that’s why he shot her? He’s got that ‘dead eyes’ expression in the most recent photos... rx treatment for trannie depression?
Inquiring minds.
The “gunman” is transgender—the reporter has a cancellation in their future—wrong noun!.
+++++
You make a good point. Maybe guntranny would be better. Or use gunwoman based on his (there I go again) preference for dresses and nylons.
Prayers up for them.
He should have sent in the social workers ...
Yes thats the ticket ...
agree completely. this is going to be exploited ruthlessly to try to pass gun laws for very different end-goals, but the families have unimaginable grief.
North Dakota is not a sanctuary state. Some bad reporting a decade ago is still floating around, but it isn’t, and wasn’t a sanctuary state.
So, despite being trans, the shooter was born a boy?
My GF has an eerily similar situation in her family. Her mom is having to raiser her 16 YO nephew because my GF’s sister is an irresponsible methhead.
He’s gender dysmorphic, addictive behavior, has run away twice and has reported his grandmother to CPS because she won’t pay for transition surgery; he even threatened to kill his grandmother and sister over it. He was sent to psychiatric therapy provided by the state, where at the first meeting the “doctor” asked him how soon he wanted to transition....without spending as much as minute trying to figure out who he is and how he came to where he was.
I actually had to check early reports to find out this happened on the other side of the state.
It used to be when we visited, I never disarmed and never slept. I finally had to put my foot down and tell the GF if I was going there, I would stay in a hotel with or without her.......
From more than history ports, he was being chased by the border patrol just before the shooting. There’s a picture of his crashed truck not far from the school. Somehow, he apparently managed to gain entry into the school after crashing nearby. Not sure how that happened.
CBP said Border Patrol was not chasing him.
Post that pic in all these threads!! dag this is insane. I bet he/she/it will cry that he/she/it was tormented in school for being a he/she/it.
