Fourteen students and one teacher have been killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The gunman, an 18-year-old #SalvadorRamos, appears to have acted alone and was also shot and killed by law enforcement officers.
Horrified parents were instructed to stay away from the school, and a message on the district website said, “Students need to be accounted for before they are released to your care.”
Sen. Chris Murphy delivers remarks on Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting this evening. “What are we doing? What are we doing? This only happens in this country and nowhere else. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day,” he said.
Governor Abbott signed the Constitutional Carry bill into law last year which went into effect September 1st. This law allows Texans to carry handguns without a license or training. This is totally unacceptable considering how many mass shootings have taken place in the state!
The shooting in Uvalde brings the total to eight mass shootings in Texas since 2009 where at least four victims were killed. Governor Gregg Abbott has been governor of Texas since 2015.
Texas, y’all need to vote the other way this November. The gubernatorial race is on November 8th. #BWLM💕
