Kijana mwenye umri wa miaka 18 ameua Wanafunzi 19 kwa kuwafyatua risasi katika Shule ya Msingi ya Robb Elementary iliyopo Texas, akifanya tukio hilo kwa kuhama darasa hadi darasa, kabla ya vyombo vya usalama kumthibiti na kufanikiwa kumuua na yeye pia.
Seneta wa Jimbo hilo, Roland Gutierrez ndiye aliyetoa taarifa kwa Polisi akieleza pia kuna watu wazima wawili wamefariki katika shambulizi hilo mmoja kati yao ni mwalimu.
Haijawekwa wazi idadi ya waliofariki kama imehusisha na hao watu wazima, pia haijawekwa wazi idadi ya majeruhi.

Gov. Greg Abbott told reporters that 15 people, including 14 children and one teacher, were killed in a school shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday afternoon.
Speaking at a press conference in Abilene, Abbott said the suspected shooter is dead and identified him as an 18-year-old male who he said was reported to be attending Uvalde High School.
The governor said it's believed that he abandoned his vehicle and entered into the Robb Elementary school with a handgun and, maybe a rifle, but said this has not been confirmed.
The suspect allegedly shot his grandmother before he entered the school, where 600 students are enrolled.
Uvalde Police Chief Pete Arredondo confirmed some of the details offered by Abbott at a brief news conference Tuesday afternoon. Arredondo called the bloodshed a mass casualty incident but did not specify the number of dead. The chief also told reporters that the alleged gunman acted alone and is deceased.
"The suspect did act alone during his heinous crime," he said during the brief statement. He added, "Families are being notified and we are providing services to them."
Officials at University Memorial Hospital in Uvalde confirmed two individuals were dead on arrival. They offered no additional details about the deceased.
Thirteen children were transported to the hospital, two of whom have been transferred to facilities in San Antonio, more than 80 miles away.
A 66-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl were also taken to University Hospital in San Antonio, according to local news stations. The hospital confirmed that the 66-year-old is in critical condition.
Uvalde police department officials initially said the suspected gunman was taken into custody at 1:06 p.m. local time.
The shooting at the school where 600 students are enrolled began at 11:32 a.m. Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District officials said all local schools went into lockdown as news of the active shooter spread.
Multiple law enforcement agencies, including border patrol and officers from neighboring cities have responded to the scene.
Student and teachers were evacuated to the city's civic center where parents are being told they can now pick up their children.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
