A shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde Texas has left at least 19 students and two teachers dead

A gun-wielding suspect barricaded himself on campus.

Gov. Greg Abbott said an 18-year-old man opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, about 85 miles west of San Antonio.

Fourth grade teacher, Eva Mireles has been named as one of the victims.

She was a mother and wife who worked in the school district for 17 years.

None of the children have been identified as of yet.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the suspect Salvado Ramos, an 18-year-old, abandoned his vehicle at around noon on Tuesday before barricading himself in the school.

Texans are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime & for the community of Uvalde.

Cecilia & I mourn this horrific loss & urge all Texans to come together.

I've instructed @TxDPS & Texas Rangers to work with local law enforcement to fully investigate this crime. pic.twitter.com/Yjwi8tDT1v

It was the deadliest school shooting in Texas history.

President Biden addressed the nation about the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, urging for action.

“It’s time to act,” he says. “We can do so much more, we have to do more.”

“The idea that an 18-year-old kid can walk into a store and buy two assault weapons is just wrong.

“These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world.”

Tonight, there are parents who will never see their child again. Parents who will never be the same.

To lose a child is to have a piece of your soul ripped away forever.

I ask the nation to pray for them — to give them strength in the darkness.

The deadly shooting began 11:43 a.m. Tuesday at Robb Elementary off Old Carrizo Road near U.S. Highway 83. Robb Elementary has an enrolment of just under 600 students.

Uvalde’s Mayor has not confirmed casualties but told ABC news in a text “this is a very bad situation.”

He says the office is trying to contact parents before releasing any information.

Via social media, Uvalde Police Department made a statement.

“Parents are asked to pick up students at the regular dismissal times at the child’s campus. There will be no bus transportation.Officers will be on site to escort students to the parents cars.Parents please be patient as lines will be long.”

Fervently lifting Uvalde up in prayer while refusing to do a goddamned thing to stop gun violence is why this keeps happening, especially in Texas.

In fact @SenTedCruz has been spreading gun lobby lies about the ATF director nominee while trying to stop a federal ghost guns ban. https://t.co/BzIdgAUFNm

SpaceX plans a $25 billion IPO in 2026, potentially valuing the company at over $1 trillion.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to raise over $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026. The move could value the space exploration company at over $1 trillion, fueled by its Starlink internet network and Starship rocket programme.

The IPO discussions are underway with major banks, targeting a launch around June or July. This comes as the IPO market experiences a revival after a three-year slowdown, attracting attention from both institutional and retail investors.

SpaceX is currently the second most-valuable private startup after OpenAI. While investors are excited, some remain cautious about Musk’s ability to manage multiple high-profile companies simultaneously.

Trump admin proposes tourists disclose social media profiles for security under visa waiver program, impacting 42 countries.

The Trump administration has proposed new rules requiring tourists visiting the United States under the visa waiver program to disclose their social media profiles. This applies to citizens from countries including Australia, the UK, and France, who would need to provide five years of social media history.

The requirement specifically targets travelers using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which covers 42 countries. US Customs and Border Protection says the move is necessary to enhance national security.

Public comments on the proposal will be open for 60 days, and full implementation could take several months. It’s still unclear whether private messages would be included or if only public profiles are required.
