#Repost @politico ・・・ At least 18 children and two adults are dead after a gunman opened fire at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott said. Shortly after the death toll was announced, Sen. Chris Murphy gave an impassioned speech in the U.S. Senate, where he slammed Congress and challenged Americans to act. “What are we doing?” Murphy said. ”Just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down African American patrons, we have another Sandy Hook on our hands.” The shooting happened at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, about 85 miles west of San Antonio. Abbott said the suspect, an 18-year-old man who resided in Uvalde, Texas, is also dead and was likely killed by officers who responded to the scene.
