Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed the deaths of 14 children and a teacher in a shooting at Uvalde Elementary School. The police said that the person responsible was killed and revealed his identity: he is the 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, a former student. The death toll is the most severe in recent US history. During the 1999 shooting in Colombine, Colorado, there were 13 casualties.
The Uvalde memorial Hospital confirmed in the evening that it had received 13 children following a shooting at the Robb Elementary School in the town an hour from Sant Antonio. The same hospital confirmed that two children died. Two patients were transferred to San Antonio for treatment, while a third was awaiting transfer. A 45-year-old was also hospitalized after being hit by a bullet. Another clinic reported that a 66-year-old woman is critically ill from injuries sustained in the same accident.
The man suspected of having opened fire was killed by the police of Uvalde Lo reports the US broadcaster CBS, recalling that the attack had caused the blockade of all schools in the affected district. The details of the shooting are still unclear.
From the twitter account the school offers guidance to parents on how to recover the children at the Willie Deleon Civic Center.
