Gov. Greg Abbott identified the shooter as 18-year-old Salvador Romas. He was killed by officers. According to the governor, the shooter abandoned his car and entered the elementary with a handgun and possibly a riffle. Abbott added that two responding officers were also struck by rounds but have no serious injuries.
“What happened in Uvalde is a horrific tragedy that cannot be tolerated in the state of Texas,” Abbott said. “He shot and killed — horrifically, incomprehensibly — 14 students, and killed a teacher. Mr. Romas, the shooter, he himself is deceased and is believed that responding officers killed him.”
“When parents drop their kids off at school, they have every expectation to know that they’ll be able to pick their child up when that school day ends,” Abbott added. “There are families that are in mourning right now, and the state of Texas are in mourning with them.”
