A gunman has killed at least 19 children and two adults at an Elementary School in Uvalde Texas.
CNN reports that the gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, shot his grandmother before the mass shooting.
She remains in critical condition, but the Broadcaster says Ramos was killed in a shootout with police.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden called on the US to turn its collective pain into political action following the deadliest elementary school shooting since Sandy Hook in 2012.
For every parent, for every citizen, we have to make it clear to every elected official: It’s time for action.
— President Biden (@POTUS) May 25, 2022
