Twenty people are dead, including 18 children, a teacher, and the suspected gunman following an “active shooter” report at Robb Elementary school in Uvdale, Texas, according to Gov. Greg Abbott, making this the deadliest shooting at an American elementary school since the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in 2012.
The state police updated the death toll on Tuesday evening, announcing that four more children were among the dead, for a total of 18.
Additionally, and as yet unconfirmed, Texas Governor Abbot said that “it is being reported that the subject shot his grandmother right before he went into the school.”
With somber mood, President Biden offered prayers and sent a nation’s best wishes to the heartbroken families of all the dead children (and teacher) in Texas tonight:
“Tonight, I ask the nation to pray” for the victims.
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.” Matthew 5:21-22
But as was predictable enough (given his record low ratings slump), instead of sticking with heartfelt condolences (or discussing mental health plans), he quickly went political and took aim at the gun.
The President said it “was time to turn pain into action,” and went into ‘angry-mode’, exclaiming “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?”
