Texas school shooting – latest: Child death toll rises to 19 as Biden demands action
The Independent says a teenage gunman has murdered at least nineteen children and two teachers in a shooting at a Texas primary school only a week after another shooter killed ten people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
The gunman, who has been named as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was shot dead, apparently by police officers at the scene. After the attack, Joe Biden urged Congress to end the “carnage” of gun violence in America, saying: “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?” As reported by US News.
Death toll rises to 19
The shooter Ramos reportedly shot his grandmother at her home in the morning before wrecking his car outside the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. He then ran into the school and began shooting, according to Texas state senator Roland Gutierrez.
