Details on gunman and victims in Uvalde, Texas school shooting

- We are beginning to learn more about the mass shooting at a school in Uvalde, Texas that left 21 -- children and adults -- dead and many others critically injured.

The shooter who walked into Robb Elementary School and opened fire has been identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, a resident of Uvalde. Law enforcement sources say he shot his grandmother, then drove to the school with a handgun and an AR-15. He continued his rampage until police arrived and was killed at the scene.

According to Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Christopher Olivarez, in addition to the weapons and ammunition, Ramos wore a"tactical vest" as body armor. He said all of the children and teachers who died were inside a single classroom where the shooter barricaded himself.One of the first victims identified was 4th grade teacher Eva Mireles.

The family of 10 year old Xavier Lopez has confirmed he was killed. There are reports that just hours before the shooting Xavier's mother was with him at the school for an awards ceremony.Amerie Jo Garza, 10, was a 4th-grader at Robb Elementary. Her father, Angel Garza, said he'd spent at least 7 hours trying to find his daughter or get news about her whereabouts after the shooting. He later shared that Amerie had been found and was dead.

Thank you everyone for the prayers and help trying to find my baby. She’s been found. My little love is now flying high...

We need to show the mutilated faces of the massacred children. The swollen and mutilated face of Emmitt Till turned things around. Think what the meat pulp of a child's face can do for anti gun laws. TAKE THE GLOVES OFF, ask the parents for permission mutilatedchildrenpictures

RIP BEAUTIFUL SOUL 🙏🏼

█089 Why are there no security guards WITH GUNS in the school but politician buldings are filled with it? Are these children less important than the politicians? Terrorists&criminals wont have a hard time buying illegal guns in states w/ strict gun laws.Just look IL & MI. █089

So very sorry 😪😪😪

Keep loosening the gun laws, Texas 👍. Most of these parents seem to be MAGA types, anyways

God wants to be back in the schools🙏🏾 DeezScounQuotes

JaredLPatterson Texas Christian Republicans answer to Kids belong slaughtered in schools - ban books about gay people in the library -monitor which bathroom which kids use -give killers more access to more deadly guns -collect money from NRA

Whoever got 54k in donations, please share some of that with another victims family.

Guns do not provide security instead they increase paranoia which leads to society becoming self destructive. Giving a gun to a person is like giving power to a child, the outcome will always lead to the death of innocence. GunReformNow

There have been 102weekdays this year. Between holidays SpringBreak there are roughly12days where there is no school.78school shootings in about 90days of school. So basically there is an incident w/ a gun in a school every day in this country. As a country we really don’t care.

i cant stand how clueless JoeBiden acting about the situation smfh...i feel only law enforcers should have guns, no other human.

RIP 😢😢💔💔🙏🙏
