The gunman in the Texas school rampage was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent who rushed to the scene without waiting for backup, a law enforcement official says. The agent was wounded but was able to walk out of the school.

that added to a yearslong series of mass killings at churches, schools and stores. And the prospects for any reform of the nation’s gun regulations seemed at least as dim as in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook deaths.

The gunman, who was wearing body armor and had hinted on social media of an upcoming attack, crashed his car outside the school and went inside armed, Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN.He killed his grandmother before heading to the school with two military-style rifles he had purchased on his birthday, Gutierrez said.

It was not immediately clear how many people were wounded, but Arredondo said there were “several injuries.” Earlier, Uvalde Memorial Hospital said 13 children were taken there. Another hospital reported a 66-year-old woman was in critical condition. Heavily armed law enforcement officers swarmed to the school, with officers in tactical vests diverting traffic and FBI agents coming and going from the building.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden was briefed on the shooting on Air Force One as he returned from a five-day trip to Asia. Biden was scheduled to deliver remarks Tuesday evening at the White House.

The murderer was hispanic. The guy that ordered police to stand still and let the murders continue is hispanic. Almost all the cops were hispanic. This hero border cop better be hispanic. If he is white, all the hispanics were total failures and gringo was their savior.

This story is false. We now know that police stood around for nearly an hour, listening to children being slaughtered inside. TAKE THIS DOWN. There were NO good guys with guns. Uvalde

Thank god he was there.

Get blue out of school, (blew) fixed in sound.

Thank God the democrats didn't DEFUND the border patrol like they tried to. Would have been worse if the left would have gotten their way

People need appreciate this man

Page Not Found. Coverup, just like the Vegas Shooting.

Too much grooming from teachers, not enough real-life protecting them. The time is NOW for teachers to shift from grooming “their kids” sexually, to instead start protecting ”their kids” by concealed-carry of firearms. Man-up, or find a different profession!

That just sends chills down my spine. Your incredible courage sir saved who knows how many lives.

Big deal. I mean kudos on his bravery, but this is akin to shutting the barn door after the horses got out

I would like to hear more about this hero that saved lives by taking the shooter out. Thank you for your training and bravery!

So a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun?

Hero

So the gunman created social media profiles days ago only to post a picture of himself and one of his guns and then got killed right on the spot? This whole thing glows like hell. It's kind of strange the school shootings are back now that the Democrats are back in office.

Iced__T We just gave 40 billion to Ukraine but we can’t pass a bill that makes are schools safer. The guns are already here. Non law abiding citizens do not care about laws. Let’s make schools safe like any other government facility cause god knows they’re all safe at work.

Suppose someone else had the same idea, and the agent had shot them instead...

KTLA Bruh the border patrol probably was waiting for this his whole life to get to kill a latin x man😅

So what if the police didn’t have their guns? We need more guns. The teachers should be armed and more cops in schools to help prevent this stuff. The solution isn’t to ban guns because criminals will still have them and well be far worse off.

'Toxic masculinity'

How many school shootings would there be if it was mandatory for everyone to carry a gun? Would there be more or less shootings? Would the numbers of people killed be higher, or lower?

Who are' officials' The stand cops that shot guns in the direction of 600 children

When is Biden going to outlaw murder....Its time!

Thank God someone was close with a GUN to stop more killings

Hero

StephenGutowski We are going to need a second by second break down of how this police chase ended with the Border Patrol being the ones to stop him and not the actual police who were chasing him

Thank you!
