Fifteen dead, including 14 children, in Texas school shooting

Fifteen people, 14 children and a teacher, were killed in a shooting Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, state Governor Greg Abbott said.

The assailant “horribly and incomprehensibly shot and killed 14 students and killed a teacher,” Abbott told a news conference.

He specified that the attacker, identified as local teenager Salvador Ramos, had also “passed away”, adding that “it is believed that the responding agents killed him”.
