Gunshots at a school in Texas, 19 children lost their lives

Gunshots at a school in Texas, 19 children lost their lives

An 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 19 children, a teacher and another person as he walked from class to class, officials said.

This was the most serious incident that happened in a school, while the attacker was killed by law enforcement.

The attack came just 10 days after a racist-motivated crime at a Buffalo supermarket.

Many of the injured were rushed to Uvalde Memorial Hospital.

The perpetrator was Salvador Ramos, a San Antonio resident. Law enforcement officials said he acted alone.

Ramos had hinted on social media that an attack could come, according to State Senator Roland Gutierrez, who said he was informed by state police. He noted that the gunman "suggested that children be taken care of".

Before going to school, Ramos had shot his grandmother, who had escaped.
