Eighteen children and one adult were killed in Tuesday’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, according to Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Estrada did not provide any other information on the victims.

Gov. Greg Abbott said earlier Tuesday “it is believed” that the shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was killed by law enforcement. Estrada confirmed the suspect was killed.

Ramos is believed to have shot his grandmother before going to the school, three law enforcement sources told CNN.

This kind of news always devastates me. Schools are supposed to be a safe place for children and teachers. I have two little cousins who are school-age and I wonder if they are doing okay.

i hate how this country fails to protect young children in schools, but is all about limiting peoples' equality

I feel the same way about this. What will it take to know that school shootings (or any mass shooting) is an ongoing problem in the country.

My heart goes out to all their families, this should have never happened. Heartbreaking.

Why is this always happening in the U.S?

Why is this always happening in the U.S?

An incident similar to this happened in the UK, in a part of Scottish called Dunblane. That tragedy became the catalyst for gun laws to be brought in.

I was going to ask what America’s catalyst will be, but you know the answer will just be ‘YoU cAn’T tAkE oUr GuNs BeCaUsE fReEdOm’ from the gun lobby, who sadly everybody will bow down to as normal.

Pray for those who lost their lives and those who living with fear....it's really upsetting. There's multiple reasons why the second amendment really stinks, what won't the country just remove the amendment?
