Eighteen pupils and two adults have now been confirmed killed in the latest update of the mass shooting in Texas Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, United States.<\/p>\n

Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, said 14 pupils and one teacher were earlier confirmed dead by a lone gunman Salvador Ramos, at Robb Elementary school at about 11.43am on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to Abbott, the 18-year-old shooter who was also killed in the deadly shooting was said to have abandoned his car and entered the elementary school with a handgun and possibly a rifle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe shot and killed horrifically and incomprehensibly 14 students and killed a teacher,\u201d said Abbott.<\/p>\n

Ramos was said to have killed his grandmother before storming the elementary school. He was said to be wearing a body armor. \u00a0Ramos victims were mostly second, third and fourth graders.<\/p>\n

Some of his victims were hospitalized, with some in critical conditions. The tragedy happened in the last week of school.<\/p>\n

Robb Elementary has an enrolment of just under 600 students. Uvalde is a small city of about 16,000 residents about 80 miles west of San Antonio.<\/p>\n

It is the deadliest school shooting in Texas history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
