Sixteen people are dead, including 14 children, a teacher, and the suspected gunman following an “active shooter” report at Robb Elementary school in Uvdale, Texas, according to Gov. Greg Abbott.
According to Fox7 Austin, the deceased children are 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders between the ages of 7 and 9 years-old. Another 13 children were transported to the hospital.
The suspected shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, is believed to have acted alone. It is unclear what his relationship is to the school, if any.
“He shot and killed, horrifically, incomprehensibly, 14 students and killed a teacher,” said Abbott, adding that two officers were shot and wounded and are expected to survive.

Ramos was a resident of the community, according to the governor, who added that the shooter was likely killed by responding officers but that events are still being investigated.
Uvalde Memorial Hospital said they received 13 children by ambulance or buses for treatment. The hospital added that two children were transferred to a hospital in San Antonio and one child was pending transfer. The hospital added that two individuals were pronounced dead on arrival.
The Texas Department of Public Safety and Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told Fox News that the shooter – who ran to the school – became barricaded inside it.
“There is an active shooter at Robb Elementary. Law enforcement is on site,” the school posted on Facebook. “Your cooperation is needed at this time by not visiting the campus.”
The school later posted on Facebook alerting parents that students were being transported to the Willie DeLeon Civic Center for reunification. Additionally, all district and campus activities, after-school programs and events, were canceled for the remainder of the day. -Fox7

This is the act of a zombie…expect more of this type of insanity in the future either real or imgined.
This is probably one of the best ways to stampede the herd in the direction you want it to go.
The herd will demand better and higher fences and no cow with horns allowed so they can feel safe amongst their fellow cows.
The only cows allowed in the barn and pasture were those cows that got de-horned…..the rest became hamburger.
Cows that think to much are always the ones that become hamburger first lest they influence the rest of the herd in ways that the rancher does not like.
This is a fact.
