Not open for further replies.
It's been confirmed by the local hospital that the two dead are children.

Police have given an update saying that the shooter is also deceased.

CORRECTION: Apparently the state governor is giving a press conference right now. According to the governor's statement, 14 children and 1 teacher are dead. The suspect, an 18-year-old high school student, is also dead.

According to state data, this elementary school teaches grades 3 and 4.

Current reports are one teacher plus fourteen students. Shooter is alive and in custody (ETA: Spanked, not alive after all).

Nothing to say. We all just rehash all the things we've said every other time this happens, then fade off....


....until it happens again,

....and again,


....and again. Never ending.:mad::confused::(
 
At least 2 people are dead and 14 injured after a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, a small town some 80 miles west of San Antonio. Most of the known victims so far are children, according to the hospitals that have been receiving the patients. Police say the shooter is in custody.

ABC says day after tomorrow would've been the last day of the school year at this school.

CBS now reporting 14 children and one adult dead. 18 year old shooter is also deceased. :mad:

Not again.

Governor Greg Abbott said 14 students and one schoolteacher are dead and more than a dozen have been injured in the horrifying gun attack, reports ABC News.

The suspect is believed to be high school student Salvador Ramos who allegedly shot a teacher and his grandmother, according to the publication.

He was said to have been armed with a handgun and possibly a rifle.

Uvalde Police Department confirmed on Facebook that the attacker was in police custody shortly after 1pm.

I wonder how many of the obvious "warning signs" will have been ignored?
 
It was reported during the press conference that two responding police officers were shot but are expected to recover, so it would seem that they actively engaged the shooter, but it's not clear whether he was taken down during this or shot himself. I suppose it matters little.

Shooting his relative first and then going to and shooting up the elementary school is an unsettling parallel with Sandy Hook.
 
Go on, Texas. Let everyone open carry, no license. Make it illegal to not be armed. Heck, why not train and arm all kids from Grade 3? Surely *then* all the good guys will be able to take out the occasional bad guy. Right? Make the State *real* polite. And *super* safe.
 
The Attorney General of Texas says the answer is to arm teachers.
Texas is not a civilizaed country. No way will I ever go there. It has gone totally crazy.
I would sign a petition to kick Texas out of the Union in a New York minute.
 
what the HELL is wrong with this country? FOURTEEN CHILDREN AND ONE TEACHER DEAD! I'm disgusted with the gun mentality in this country and those that support it. I don't want to hear about your FREEDOMS or your 2A Right. I don't give a damn about your 'right' to swagger around with a gun on your belt so you can feel like a BIG, MACHO MAN or WOMAN or any of the excuses you all have for "needing" to own a gun. I DON'T CARE! This love affair with guns has got to stop. But it won't as long as the NRA and gun nuts fight every damn effort to control it and equate gun ownership with 'freedom' and "mah RIIIIIIIIGHTS!" It makes me want to vomit. And I'm specifically calling out the REPUBLICAN PARTY because it's YOU who keep making this kind of slaughter possible with your constant refusal to do damn thing to stop it. It makes me want to vomit. Yeah, I'm ranting because I'm madder than hell. And those of you who want to respond with your 'reasons' for not stopping this madness, I DON'T CARE!
 
I never claimed there was, that's an incorrect assumption you have arrived at.

Since you are from Europe you may not be familiar with the current narrative in the US. It goes something like this: OMG!1!!111!1!! duh the white supremeististz are an existential threat to our democracy!!111!11!!! and duh blackses can't leave their house without being mowed down by racistz1!!111!1!

The executive branch, congressional Democrats and most of the major media have a lot of people fooled into believing that white men, like the Buffalo shooter, are regularly pulling off mass shootings and murdering minorities. In fact, what happened in Buffalo is extremely rare when it comes to mass shootings. Right now the ratio for this year is 209:1. In the seven days following the Buffalo shooting there have been 13 mass shootings with 12 killed and 59 wounded. Mostly black on black. With a major US holiday coming up this week expect many more mass shootings and deaths that will be ignored because Republicans and white supremacists won't be pulling the trigger. As I said earlier it's extremely rare when a shooting like the one in Buffalo happens, it's been the opposite so far this year.

How quickly we forgot about the black nationalist who shot 10 people in a New York subway.

Being from Europe, did you hear about the Jewish Democrat mayoral candidate in Louisville, Kentucky who had a gunman walk into his campaign office and attempt to assassinate him? No? That's because he was a black BLM activist who had made an appearance on MSNBC and also espoused communist and socialist beliefs and liked to rag on "gun loving Republicans."

That act of political terrorism didn't even get a thread much less a post on this board, that I'm aware of.

If I wouldn't have mentioned it in this thread earlier, you probably wouldn't know about the Chinese man who walked into a predominantly Taiwanese church and opened fire, an act of political terrorism.

How about the Asian man who fired over 200 rounds from his fifth story Washington DC condo, injuring four including a 12-year-old child. How much have you heard about that one?

There is a narrative being punished and it is a lie.

Well, not there was really doubt, but somebody just highlighted and underlined that he is a racist.

The Texas Attorney General just called for the arming of teachers...
I hate texas, I really do. I would give it back to Mexico in a minute, except the Mexicans are way too smart to accept it...
