Salvador Ramos: Suspect in Uvalde Elementary School Shooting
Salvador Ramos was named as the 18-year-old suspect in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 15 people dead – including 14 students and a teacher, according to the governor.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a news conference that “swift action” was taken by law enforcement at the scene of the mass shooting, but it was too late for many children. “The shooter is no longer alive,” Abbott said. “The shooter was Salvador Ramos, an 18-year-old male who resided in Uvalde.”
A shooting at a Texas elementary school left 14 students and one teacher dead, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday afternoon.
Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, about 60 miles east of the southern border of Mexico and about 80 miles west of San Antonio, was placed on lockdown around 11:43 a.m. local time after gunshots were heard in the area, the school wrote on Facebook.
About a half-hour later, the school reported an “active shooter” at the location who was in police custody by 1:06 p.m., the Uvalde Police Department confirmed on Facebook.
