UVALDE, Texas – A gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde on Tuesday, killing 14 students and one teacher, Gov. Greg Abbott said. The gunman, identified as Salvador Romas, was also killed, Abbott said. Romas was reportedly a student at Uvalde High School or was a former student, Abbott said.
Abbott said Romas shot his grandmother before he went on the shooting rampage at Robb Elementary School.
Two law enforcement officers were shot but are expected to be OK, Abbott said.
University Health officials said a 10-year-old girl and a 66-year-old woman were being treated at University Hospital and were in critical condition.
Hospital officials also said several students are being treated in the emergency room. Immediate family members of the injured students are asked to report to the hospital cafeteria on the second floor. UMH staff will keep in constant contact with those family members. Hospital officials ask residents who are not immediate family members to stay away from the hospital.
In a Facebook post at 2 p.m., UCISD said that students have been evacuated to the Willie DeLeon Civic Center and that parents are now allowed to pick up their children there.
There is still a large law enforcement presence at the school and residents are asked to stay away from the campus. The rest of the district is secure, authorities said.
The San Antonio Police Department has sent resources to the school and is standing by to assist as further needed, Police Chief William McManus said.
