Families, friends and the Uvalde community remember the lives of 19 children and two teachers. The shooting shattered the small, close-knit community, where about 82% of the city's population is Latino, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
A gunman killed 19 children at a Texas elementary school Tuesday in the deadliest shooting at a U.S. grade school since the 2012 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Wearing body armor and firing hundreds of rounds, the 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez said. Gov. Greg Abbott said one of the two was a teacher. A U.S. Border Protection agent, one of several responding to the scene, shot and killed the gunman, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told USA TODAY on Tuesday night.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Erick Estrada said the gunman also shot his grandmother before driving to Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where he was armed with a rifle and overpowered a school officer. Estrada said the grandmother had been airlifted to a hospital and was in critical condition.

Part of this whole gun debate should take into account that in 1791, when the 2nd Amendment was ratified, the average musket or flintlock pistol could fire about 3 rounds per minute. A standard semi-automatic weapon today can shoot around 50-100 rounds per minute. It’s as if the law hasn’t kept pace with the technological advance of armaments. In the same way that cars were produced that became capable of better performance over time, and driving laws to take account of this were introduced to keep pace with this, surely stricter gun control legislation should’ve long before now been introduced in America, as gun performance improved and evolved. Other countries, *most* other countries, can see this, but for America, it seems like a blind spot as that society is bedazzled by the 2nd Amendment.
Criminals don’t care if guns are illegal…. That’s why they call them criminals.
All making guns illegal does it make it harder for law-abiding citizens to get them to protect themselves FROM those criminals that have them.
Now, if you want to have certain limitations based on rounds per minute, etc; that’s a valid conversation for America to have. But after a tragedy definitely isn’t the time to have it imo. ✌️
I’m bedazzled by the second amendment because i have the right to protect myself and my family from nuts and criminals. Criminals are going to get guns and smuggle them no matter what the laws are.

Trading without a professional guide?Huh! I laugh you because you will remain where you are or make more loss that would even stop you from trading, this has been problems with new traders..
I think trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional it really helps reduce the chances of running into losses. All thanks to Mr Michael Novogratz He changed my life, I was able to pay off my mortgage.
THE PARENTS OF THE SUSPECT DIDN’T TEACH HIM RESPECT.GOD
