LATEST: Pres. Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will be traveling to Texas in the 'upcoming days,' the president says.

The suspected Robb Elementary School shooter was not wearing body armor during Tuesday's massacre, multiple law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The two plan to meet with the victims' families"and let them know that we have a sense, just a sense of their pain. And hopefully bring some little comfort to the community in shock and grief and in trauma," the president said during an address Wednesday afternoon."The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy weapons of war, designed and marketed to kill, is I think just wrong. Just violates common sense," he said.

According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the alleged shooter made his gun purchases on two separate days: May 17 and May 20. That means he bought the first AR-15-style rifle one day after he turned 18 and the second four days before the shooting. The House will move on a bill to create a national red flag law, according to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland.would allow family members or law enforcement officers to"petition for an extreme risk protection order with respect to an individual who poses a risk to themselves or others."

AP article says he locked himself in the room and they needed staff to bring the key.. 🤔

Any truth to the reporting elsewhere that the gunman was in a classroom for 40 minutes, shooting children one by one, as police 'heroes, we are told' did not act until they were all dead?

All that heat for one 18 yr old with no weapons training! What took so long? Stop with the guns stop guns 🐂💩 BanAssaultWeaponsNow

God bless the people that stopped the criminal.

If this is even true they did a piss poor job

Greg Abbott said Abbott said a local man opened fire at at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, about 85 miles west of San Antonio Shooter dead means they weren’t white. White boy shooters are brought in with “mental illness”. The US is messed up man. I can't imagine the anguish I would be going through, as a parent, waiting outside the school to find out if it was one of my children killed. Awful, but not unpreventable. 🤷‍♂️ FrostyHotCoffee I first read “Abbott is the suspected shooter…”
