At least 19 primary school children and two adults have been killed following an attack by a gunman at Robb Elementary School, Uvalde in Texas, the latest mass shooting in the U.S.

On Tuesday, Governor Greg Abbott told reporters at a press conference that an 18-year-old gunman attacked the elementary school.

“The shooter was … an 18-year-old male who resided in Uvalde. It is believed that he abandoned his vehicle and entered the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde with a handgun and he may have also had a rifle, but that is not yet confirmed,”  Mr Abbott said. “He shot and killed – horrifically, incomprehensibly – 14 (now 19) students and killed one teacher (now two adults).”
