Fourteen students and one teacher were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday, Governor Greg Abbott announced.
A spokesman for the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office told National Review that a single gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, entered the school and began firing. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, in a press conference a few hours after the incident, claimed that Ramos used a handgun, and may have possessed a rifle.
Ramos, a student at Uvalde High School, killed his grandmother before the incident. Other law enforcement sources indicated that he may have been involved in a pursuit with police shortly before entering the school,

18 year old Salvador Ramas is named as the killer, apparently killed by responding police officers. He is reported to be a HS student in the town, and to have shot his grandmother before going to the elementary school to kill.
Here legally or not? That's the first thing I want know. We don't need any additional violent people from other countries.

Horrible tragedy. What could possibly go through an 18 year old's head like that?

On second reading after just skimming the article, Abbott said that the murderer is an American citizen. I’ll wait for proof.

Texas is under seige. There are no words. May the God of all comfort surround the families as only He can do. I will pray for all the investigators that all the truth is discovered and nothing is hidden.

OK. A few facts:
1) The perps motivation was suicide decorated by a huge news event.
2) The perp was a psychopath
3) Psychopaths generally have a very troubled childhood, but children committing crimes are handled in juvenile court, usually adjudicated not as guilty/not guilty, but by an order declaring the perp is a Child In Need of Assistance
4) Juvenile court records and school disciplinary records are not available for scrutiny.
5) The diagnosis of a perp under age 18 as a psychopath is discouraged by psychiatry
6) Therefore we as a society have no way of categorizing individuals at age 17 of being of immediate danger to themselves and others because they are psychopaths
7) About 1% of the population are psychopaths
8) Psychopaths contribute inordinately to the societal burden of crime, particularly repeat and violent offenders
9) There is no effective therapy for psychopathy
10) Politicians and news media stoically refuse even to mention psychopathy.

If this shooter was on police or other law enforcement lists as troublemaker and was released or never questioned like so many others, Abbott should charge that agency as accessory to murder. Lately these young shooters are known quantities in their communities, but law enforcement ignores them.

The Democrat's minions are getting more determined. Too bad there weren't armed adults to protect the kids. People better start taking this seriously. The Dems want to enslave you - exterminate you, if you are not useful to them. Defend yourselves.

Flaw #1....
It was a full HOUR AND A HALF before someone finally got a gun in the dudes face.
I helped set up free firearms/defense training for willing teachers in several locations.
There is ZERO reason teachers/coaches/admin...Janitors... cannot be trained to fight for their kids in a situation like this. They do not even have to carry the guns, they can be locked in biometric boxes at various locations, and certified/trained people can access them when needed.(most boxes can be coded for up to a dozen different people) Some close by..teachers desks, admin offices, the Gym, Janitors closets, nurses offices, others perhaps at central/peripheral locations.
Nearly ALL of these end immediately upon the confrontation by someone else with a gun...the sooner that occurs the sooner the innocent stop getting targeted.

There is not enough information yet to determine a motive or a back story for this animal so let’s not be CNN. My heart and prayers right now go to the parents and surviving children who are dealing with this indescribable horror.

#4 Don't know, don't care. Whatever it was, it was wrong. The last thing that when through his head was probably a 9mm Parabellum. It's tragic that it didn't happen an hour sooner. This NEVER happens in a vacuum. Someone knew, Someone failed us. We can't stop people from being psychotic and evil, but we can stop them from being able to act on it.

When you teach children that their lives are the product of nothing more than extreme luck and a pool of slime, then what argument can really be mounted to take any moral stance on any behavior?
Absent a God, there can be no logical case for morality because, absent a God, morality is whatever someone wants it to be.
Ie., we are reaping what we have sown or, more accurately, reaping from what we have NOT sown.

We have a lot of teenagers and young adults who are either psychopaths or have serious mental issues. Such conditions were rare at one time. Unless we address what has changed the carnage will continue.

Tonight these innocent children are in the presence and the loving arms of God.
Only God can explain evil and what led to this 18 year old to commit these murders. We do know that the Covid shut down of schools caused many school children to have depression and mental breakdowns.
We also know children are innocent until the age of accountability and they are in heaven tonight. That's comforting... and the bible says that if their parents know Jesus Christ as their Savior, they will see their children again....We're praying for the comfort of the Holy Spirit to be with this Uvalde High School and community.

Note the common ignorant view - "online purchase", or some such speculation. Underage buyer, maybe. Media throwing chickens in the air.
Reality? Online purchase can ONLY be executed by delivery of the weapon to a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer. Who then executes the ATF Form 4473, and subsequent NICS background check.
They want to "crack down" on "online sales", when they have NO IDEA what's involved with actually purchasing a firearm.
