UPDATE:
A gunman murdered 19 children and two adults Tuesday at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, about 85 miles west of San Antonio.
The revised death toll comes from multiple law enforcement officials.
The suspect was 18-year-old Salvador Romas, a student at Uvalde High School. After shooting his grandmother, Romas crashed a pickup truck outside Robb Elementary School. Although police engaged him in a firefight, officers could not prevent the body armor-wearing teen from entering the building. He then barricaded himself in a classroom and began firing indiscriminately.
A law enforcement official speaking on the condition of anonymity told the Associated Press that a Border Patrol agent rushed into the school and fatally shot Romas. Romas reportedly injured the agent, whose identity and injuries remain unclear.
Sgt. Erick Estrada, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, provided more horrific details in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
UPDATE:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has given an update on the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Abbott confirmed that at least 14 students and one teacher are deceased. The shooter, a murder suspect who opened fire after seeking refuge in the school, is also dead.

Maybe we should give some Serious Thought to Arming Teachers like many other Americans that have Armed themselves already! The Demagoguing Democrat Dolts like Biden do not offer any real solutions to this problem other than taking away the guns of Law Abiding Citizens. But the way, I do not include Democrat Politicians as Law Biding Citizens because they are Not. You Cannot Stop Evil People from doing Evil Things by taking away guns but you have a better chance of saving life’s if you have Good People that are Armed! Lock and Load because the Life you save could be your own!
