I hope the governor misspoke when he said those numbers a few minutes ago because the other news outlets keep saying 2 dead.

Such a sad time. I can’t imagine all the pain the parents and family are going through right now.

Two people were killed and multiple children were hospitalized Tuesday during a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which was placed on lockdown as law enforcement responded to an "active shooter" who police say is now in custody.

The Texas Department of Public Safety and Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told Fox News that the shooter – who ran to Robb Elementary School – had become barricaded inside. Uvalde Memorial Hospital confirmed that two people were brought to the hospital deceased.

Thirteen children were taken to the facility via ambulance or bus for treatment.

"There is an active shooter at Robb Elementary. Law enforcement is on site," the school posted on Facebook shortly after shots rang out. "Your cooperation is needed at this time by not visiting the campus."

No information on the suspected shooter or the victim was released. The school is located 80 miles west of San Antonio.

University Health in San Antonio said it received two patients – a child and a 66-year-old woman who is in critical condition. The condition of the child was not released.

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District first reported the school lockdown at 11:43 a.m. local time.

"Please know at this time all campuses are under a Lockdown Status due to gunshots in the area. The students and staff are safe in the buildings," the district had said in a message to parents.

The district asked parents not to pick up their children and that students needed to be accounted for before being released. Parents were notified to pick up their children around 2 p.m.

All district and campus activities, including after-school programs and events have been canceled. Parents are being asked to pick up their children at their regular dismissal times at their school campus. School bus transportation has also been canceled.

Police officers will escort students to the parent vehicles.

Fox News now states 14 students and 1 teacher dead. 18yo shooter is also dead but no cause on that yet.

Horrible news. My wife works for a private school that has armed guards at the entrance and inside. My son is graduating in a couple weeks from high school and my daughter next year. If I had to do it all over again, I would make sure they go to a school with armed guards. This world is fucked.

Fox was saying the shooter was deceased..

I can’t help but wonder when news agencies will be held accountable for misinformation. Is he dead or in custody?

Never will that happen. You should know better.

I remember 15 years ago situations like this made me start thinking that the media does not care about misinformation. Then I naively chalked it up the particular outlet just wanted to be first out with information and didn't care if it was accurate.

Second amendment allows you to own a gun it doesn’t say that you have to be safe and sane , crazy people have the same rights and can carry guns too.

Seeing all the parents running towards the school 🥺. When the district sends a message that there is an active shooter and please do not go to the school, …yeah fucking right
Yep, when my middle kids school in Carlsbad had an active shooter, the amount of parents in the park across from the school was insane. Since we lived 1 block from the school next to the park, we had people parked in our front yard, etc. I was pissed, since folks blocked my vehicles and once we had the kid we wanted to get away from the area (too many cops, parents, etc). Took 6 hours for all kids to be released and we were blocked until the middle of the night. Parents going crazy pending the release of kids, and knowledge of who got shot was limited

I’m going to take a wild guess that this 18 year old obtained the weapon(s) used here from a crazy parent or close family member. Like that jackass kid last year and his shit bag Mom & Dad who gave him the gun all the while knowing their kid was “off” a bit.

it’s on every station right now in Florida.

Of course it’s sad, but I don’t see things changing anytime soon. I wish that was different.

My community is still recovering from the Parkland school shooting. It is on the news nightly because of the upcoming trial.

So sad! This country needs to take a hard look at our mental health care system.
It seems like the younger shooters have been on the radar of people, known depression and other issues. I wonder how much of this could already be caused by the mental health care system, by way of pharmaceuticals. When a side effect of some "anti-depressants" is suicidal thoughts, what else could it cause?

Sad day, not only for those families, but for the witnesses and responders...and really, for this country :(

Teachers (and many, many others) need to carry.

Obviously, but fucking teachers, man.

“Schools are no places for guns,” said Clay Robison, a spokesperson for the Texas State Teachers Association. “The only person at a school that should have a gun is a trained, professional police officer. … Very few school employees really believe they can … be any match for a suicidal, heavily-armed assailant who poses a surprise attack on a school building.” ...

Zeph Capo, president of the Texas American Federation of Teachers, said in a statement that the union has “opposed past bills on campus carry for higher education institutions, and we'll continue our opposition for any expansion of guns on our K-12 campuses.”

None of these killings have anything to do with gun control. Gun control rhetoric total distraction from our failure of family environment and failure of society. It starts with our judicial system and quite frankly birth control. Look around you, check out the morons who should not reproduce.
Check out CNN immediate response to this tragedy ,they start right in on political BS.,Biden will speak from WH this evening,no doubt biden in Texas tomorrow,what for?

Maybe. But we need to stop coddling these kids. They need to learn the word NO, they need to learn what work is to get something if you want it. Not just throw a tantrum until they get it. They need to a get Fn "F" in school if that's what they deserve. In some ways the system has brought this on itself.

Not that that takes away from the horror, sadness and disgust I feel right now, Prayers to all involved and their families.

Why kids though? Shock value? Go to the mall, take out adults, either way its terrible but little kids just takes it to a whole new level. Probably what he intended.

The Newtown CT shooter, I think the connection was his mom worked at the school, wanted to destroy her life. Maybe this one has some sort of similar connection.

What we are seeing is a lack of respect for life in the form of mental illness most likely from too many "time outs" and not enough hind end tanning! Teach respect or expect consequences.
