It is a horrific day for gun violence once again in the US, after an 18-year-old in Texas opened fire in an elementary school, killing 18 students and three teachers. Texas governor Greg Abbott said on Tuesday that the suspected gunman was an 18-year-old man named Salvador Romas. Abbott said that shooter is “deceased and it is believed responding officers killed him.”
According to a CBS News report, Ramos killed his grandmother before going to the school and opening fire. The report said he had a handgun and an AR-15 rifle with high-capacity magazines.
It was a moment that has garnered passionate responses from LeBron James and Steve Kerr.
Brittany Mahomes also had something to say. The wife of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes took to Twitter to say, “This can not become a normal thing! We have to protect our schools! This is devastating and should not continue to happen.”
She also retweeted a post on her timeline from Travis Kelce’s GF where she agreed that no children should return to school this year since this country does not care about them.

At this point, they are not wrong. Everybody will argue about what should happen. The politicians will argue with each other and in the end, nothing will change and we will right back here waiting for the next mass shooting event.
Abbott released the following statement on the shooting:
“Texans across the state are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime and for the community of Uvalde. Cecilia and I mourn this horrific loss and we urge all Texans to come together to show our unwavering support to all who are suffering. We thank the courageous first responders who worked to finally secure Robb Elementary School. I have instructed the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers to work with local law enforcement to fully investigate this crime. The Texas Division of Emergency Management is charged with providing local officials all resources necessary to respond to this tragedy as the State of Texas works to ensure the community has what it needs to heal.”
