A gunman killed 19 children at a Texas elementary school Tuesday in the deadliest shooting at a U.S. grade school since the 2012 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Wearing body armor and firing hundreds of rounds, the 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two adults, Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez said. Gov. Greg Abbott said one of the two was a teacher. A U.S. Border Protection agent, one of several responding to the scene, shot and killed the gunman, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told USA TODAY on Tuesday night.

  1. It is a sad day when people are killed for no reason and I’m sending my deepest condolences to all involved and all the destroyed families and friends at this time my heart aches for them. I truly hate seeing this type of senseless destruction of lives. But I also don’t blame the gun or gun maker I blame the person who used the gun, I blame those closest to him for not seeing his true nature and whatever pain he had that made him believe this was the way to do things. Truly he needed help but now the families, friends, neighbors and community need the help to mourn and heal. Not government placing blame on the instrument of destruction used he could have as easily used a car or a knife or really anything to cause his destruction.
    My heart truly aches and may God help these people now to heal.

    1. Why can’t gun laws be blamed. How it is right to allow a 18 year old to have a gun? He needs protection from whom? And why gun laws allows an assault rifle?
      A knife or car cannot cause this level of distraction and people have chance to fight back but not against an assault rifle.

    1. @James Jones and money to repair the economic injuries caused by what happened after slavery that caused the wealth gap where collectively our entire community owns 2.6% of the nation’s wealth although we make up 13% of the population.

  2. And Joe, An average of 2,363 babies are killed daily by legal abortion in the United States, with nearly 300 of them aborted in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. The data comes from the most recent statistics published by Planned Parenthood’s former ” special affiliate ,” the Guttmacher Institute for 2017. Where are you on these little children?

  3. “Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”

    (1 Samuel 15:3)

    David saith to Solomon his son,
    `As for me, it hath been with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God,
    and the word of Jehovah [is] against me, saying,

    Blood in abundance thou hast shed,
    and great wars thou hast made:
    thou dost not build a house to My name,
    for much blood thou hast shed to the earth before Me.
