A Border Patrol agent is being credited with killing the gunman in a deadly mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday.
An anonymous law enforcement official told the Associated Press that an agent rushed into Robb Elementary School without waiting for backup. The Border Patrol agent shot and killed the gunman, who was hiding behind a barricade, this source said. The as-yet-unidentified agent was wounded but able to walk out of the school, the source added.
Border Patrol sources told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that the agent believed to have shot and killed the gunman was part of an "elite" tactical unit and had entered the school with a team while Texas law enforcement officials were engaged with the shooter.
"I’m told that that BORTAC agent went in with his technical group with other agents. They formed a stacking maneuver while Texas law enforcement was engaged with the shooter, who was barricaded," Melugin reported to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. "They came in from opposite sides. The BORTAC agent ended up exchanging gunfire with the shooter, killed the shooter, and I am told that the agent was injured in his leg. They are trying to figure out if he was shot in the leg or hit by shrapnel."

The parents of the children killed need to sue the doctor or transclinic, or whoever helped this person “transition.”
I expect the timeline will change a good bit as facts come out.
The psychiatric help today would probably encourage trans-whatever.
Was the shooter here legally?
First lock the doors to the school.
Compare Contrast this to the cop who was waiting outside of the Parkland, Florida school while the shooting was taking place.
Great reporting. That detail will see the case solv-ed. /s
I wouldn’t put it past brain manipulation by deep state
Clearly a trained sniper is no match for a mentally ill novice who has little training. Glad he risked his life and eliminated the threat.
Shooter was a citizen.
If what you said is true, then instead of gun reforms we need school curriculum reforms and societal reforms and basically a need to eliminate the teachings of the Leftist activists and PC.
Democrats hate the police and have wanted cops out of schools for a long time.
The Left and current Democrat Party have always hated the police. “Instead of just being upset, why are we as educators not taking an obvious step and escorting police out of our schools? There is a large body of research that shows that having police in schools negatively impacts student learning and makes kids feel unsafe.”

About 200 students and parents marched from Washington Square Park to City Hall Saturday to protest the presence of police officers in city schools — with some flipping the bird to New York’s Finest along the way.

A push at the federal level would remove police from schools, and a senator from Connecticut joined the charge. Sen. Chris Murphy, along with three other lawmakers, introduced a bill that would pave the way to remove school resource officers and replace them with a counseling system. https://www.murphy.senate.gov/newsroom/in-the-news/sen-murphy-helps-introduce-legislation-to-remove-officers-from-schools
Dude was born in North Dakota. Not everyone with a Hispanic last name is an illegal alien and illegal aliens are not the only mass murderers. We’ve had plenty of homegrown ones too.
Border patrol is all over Texas...especially the first 100 miles.
Were his parents U.S. citizens? THAT's what determines citizenship of children.
There are many border checkpoints on the highways 50 to 75 miles from the border to catch the transport of illegals deeper into the country. They don’t all come on foot and they don’t remain in border towns.
Sorry, like it or not, not according to the current US Code.

Either way but, huh?
There are only 4 SRO,s in that county. In Florida in my county, my city we have sro,s at every single school all armed all normal police with additional training. Salaries paid 50% by the Broward School Board usually 2-4 months later and 50% paid by our city. When school is not in session they ( The SRO ) ae assigned to the street patrol. I have lived here since 1989 an I think we always had SRO,s who are City Police...
