Support Victims and their families during this tragedy. An 18-year-old gunman opened fire at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 19 children and 2 teachers as he went from classroom to classroom, in the nation's deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade and the latest gruesome moment for a country scarred by a string of massacres. The attacker was killed by law enforcement. The assault at Robb Elementary School in the heavily Latino town of Uvalde was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. school since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012. Rolando Reyes, 72, the gunman's grandfather, said he had no idea his grandson had purchased two AR-15-style rifles or that they were in his house. The suspect's grandmother, who he shot in the forehead, is undergoing surgery on Wednesday. Reyes said he believes she will survive. The suspect purchased two AR-15-style rifles on May 22, two days before the massacre and six days after his birthday.
