An alleged shooting at a primary school in south Texas killed 19 young children and two adults.

The 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde before being slain by police, according to officials. The suspect was armed with a handgun, an AR-15 semi-automatic weapon, and high-capacity magazines, according to investigators. The boy is suspected of opening the rampage by shooting his grandmother. 

Local media report say that he may have been a high school student in the area.

Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Chief of Police, Pete Arredondo said the shooting began at 11:32 a.m. on Tuesday, and that the investigators believe the attacker “did act alone during this heinous crime”.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the shooter, whom he named as Salvador Ramos, abandoned a vehicle before entering the school to “horrifically, incomprehensibly” open fire.

One of the adults killed was a teacher, who has been named in US media as Eva Mireles. Her page on the school district’s website said she has a daughter in college and loved running and hiking.
