A horrific mass shooting at a Texas elementary school has claimed the lives of at least 18 students and 2 adults. 

The suspect, Salvador Ramos, was an 18-year-old student at the nearby Uvalde High School but he was reportedly killed by police responding to the shooting.

"When parents drop their kids off at school, they have every expectation to know that they're going to be able to pick their child up when that school day ends. And there are families who are in mourning right now," said Gov. Greg Abbott. "The state of Texas is in mourning with them for the reality that these parents are not going to be able to pick up their children."
