14 students, 1 teacher dead after shooting at Texas elementary school: Gov. AbbottAt least two children are dead and over a dozen injured after an 'active shooter' incident at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, according to hospital officials.

The Uvalde Police Department did not immediately provide further information. 💔 The Republican party, and everyone who votes to keep them in office, is squarely to blame for these murders. They work tirelessly to ensure these slaughters can continue unabated. It's lunacy. whyyyy do yall, and only yall, keep saying 14 died when all other outlets say 2?
