Gunman kills 19 elementary school kids in Texas - Angry and depressed President Biden told the country, "We need to act," after failing to pass new laws for years. A gunman killed at least 19 children Tuesday at an elementary school in Texas, officials said, in the latest massacre in a country plagued by them. Law enforcement killed the attacker. State Sen. Roland Gutierrez says state police briefed him on the deaths, which include three adults. The number of wounded wasn't clear right away, or whether the attacker was included. Gunman kills 19 elementary school kids in Texas This was the deadliest attack in a decade. In Uvalde, Texas, a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Robb Elementary School, the deadliest school shooting in the United States since Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago. Superintendent Hal Harrell said, "I'm heartbroken," announcing all school activities have been cancelled until further notice. I'm counting on your prayers to get us through this." In Buffalo, New York, a deadly, racist rampage at a supermarket just a few days earlier added to a long string of mass murders at churches, schools, and stores. It looked as if there wouldn't be any reform of gun laws as soon as Sandy Hook ended. Joe Biden declared new gun restrictions hours after the attack in an address to the nation. Let's do something: Biden A gunman shot and killed 18 kids at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday night, and President Obama called for more restrictions on guns. “We have to act,” Mr. Biden told the nation, following years of inaction. I asked, "As a nation, when in the name of God are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? When is the right time to act?" he asked. "Why are we willing to live with such carnage?" he asked. "Losing a child is like having a part of your soul ripped out," Mr. Biden said. "You feel like you're being sucked into something you'll never be able to escape." In the days leading up to his trip, Biden met with 10 Black families of victims killed by a hate-motivated shooter at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store. Two mass shootings in a row served as a sobering reminder of the brutality of America's gun epidemic. Unlike other countries, mass shootings in the United States are rare. "Why?" Biden asked. Staffers in scrubs and grieving relatives of the injured were seen weeping as they walked out of Uvalde Memorial Hospital. Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Department of Public Safety said the gunman crashed outside the school before going inside. Gutierrez said he had gotten two military-style rifles for his birthday before he went to the school. His 18th birthday was his first time doing something like that. Not sure what motivated him. The motive for the shooting hasn't been disclosed, but the governor identified the attacker as Salvador Ramos and said he lived in the community about 135 km west of San Antonio. Mr. Gutierrez said Ramos had made a hint on social media that an attack might be coming, noting "he'd said the kids should watch out." According to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter, a border patrol agent working nearby when the shooting began shot the gunman, who was behind a barricade. Law enforcement source: he was wounded but walked out of the school. Pete Arredondo, the school district's police chief, said the attacker was on his own. As of early Thursday, it wasn't clear how many people were injured, but Arredondo said several people had been hurt. Uvalde Memorial Hospital said 13 children were treated there. Another hospital said a 66-year-old woman was in critical condition. This is the last day of classes at Robb Elementary School before summer break. It serves second, third and fourth grade students. Arredondo had no idea what the ages of the children shot were. The school was surrounded by heavily armed police, with officers in tactical vests diverting traffic and FBI agents running in and out. Joe Biden was briefed about the air force one shooting on his return from Asia, said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Biden was due to deliver remarks at the White House Tuesday. Robb Elementary is in a neighborhood with mostly modest homes in Uvalde, a town of about 16,000 people. School shootings in Texas have been among the deadliest in the past 5 years, and the tragedy in Uvalde was the deadliest in the state's history. Ten people were killed by a gunman at Santa Fe High School in Houston in 2018. A year earlier, a gunman in Sutherland Springs shot and killed 30 people in a church service. Another gunman at a Walmart in El Paso killed 23 people during a racist attack in 2019. Gun control in the U.S. In addition to Abbott and both Texas' U.S. senators, both were scheduled speakers at the National Rifle Association's lobbying office's Friday leadership forum. Gun control debates in Congress have waxed and waned in the years since Sandy Hook. There have been roadblocks from Republicans and influence from outside groups like the NRA whenever lawmakers tried to change U.S. gun policies. After Sandy Hook, Sens. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, and Patrick J. Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican, negotiated a bipartisan proposal to expand federal background checks. But as the proposal was getting close to the Senate floor, it became clear it wouldn't get enough support for a 60-vote filibuster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vfXTWPBtNujg President Barack Obama, who made gun control a centerpiece of his administration's efforts after the Newtown shooting, said it was "pretty shameful for Washington" that Congress didn't act. Earlier this year, the House passed two bills to expand background checks on firearm purchases. One would have closed a loophole for private and online sales. The other would have extended the background check review period. Both bills, however, languished in the 50-50 Senate, where Democrats couldn't break the filibuster with at least 10 Republicans.
