The 18-year-old gunman who killed 19 children in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas “walked in unobstructed” and was not “confronted by anybody” despite initial police reports suggesting an armed officer was on the campus at the time, according to police.

“It was reported that a school district police officer confronted the suspect,” a statement that is “not accurate” according to Victor Escalon, a regional director with the Texas Department of Public Safety, contradicting earlier reports.

What We Know So Far About the Elementary School Shooting in Uvalde, TexasFourteen students and one teacher have been killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The gunman, an 18-year-old from the small city, is also dead, authorities said. Here's what we know so far: We all want this to stop, so how about a real answer? Why not put security at every school? We can protect planes at airports, why can't we do the same with schools? Or we could just keep trying to prevent law-abiding citizens from having guns to stop garbage like this guy. I'll bet the men who enable this kind of insanity sent their kids to private schools with full security. They don't send their kids off to school in fear everyday. Nothing will change b/c it will never effect them. Pro life my ass, these people are pro DEATH. Im assuming The shooter must NOT be white..since cops killed him... If he were melanin challenged.. cops would have pat him on the back gently taking him to a burger king.. uvaldetx Texas Buffalo Robbelementary

Texas attorney general calls for teachers to be armed after massacre in UvaldeTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton repeated his call to arm teachers after a shooter killed more than a dozen children and one teacher at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Short of a total gun ban and door to door seizures of 400 million firearms nothing will stop gun violence. And that’s impossible because the second amendment clearly would prohibit such a law. So let’s stop going around in circles. Nothing will ever change those facts. If the police who were chasing him, and the school security officer who was shooting at him couldn’t stop him from entering the school and killing 23 people, how are teachers? Clueless
