14 students, 1 teacher dead after shooting at Texas elementary school: Gov. Abbott​

Fourteen students and a teacher are dead after a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, according to Gov. Greg Abbott.

The 18-year-old suspect, a student at Uvalde High School, is also dead, he said.

"He shot and killed horrifically and incomprehensibly 14 students and killed a teacher," Abbott said during an unrelated press briefing.

The suspect also allegedly shot his grandmother before entering the school and again opening fire, Abbott said. He did not say anything further about her condition.

Abbott said the shooter had a handgun and also possibly a rifle.


Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin did not confirm casualties, but told ABC News in a text message that "this is a very bad situation." He said the office is trying to contact parents before releasing any information.

The defense atty in this was on STS last night and everyone is just raving about the job he did and how he dismantled all the State's claims and messed up facts, timelines and more. I'd take him as an atty. any day listening to it all and the others in how their own law firms were watching him and impressed in this trial. Gets a full acquittal.

I didn't follow much of it very closely but sounds like he did an exceptional job and like the State didn't and didn't have much right and shouldn't have maybe brought it to begin with. He shares some of the facts on the show.
