The Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texa, United States, was a school shooting by Salavador Ramos, where he killed at least 19 children and two teachers, and wounding 17 others. Earlier that day, he shot and wounded his 66-year-old grandmother. Ramos was eventually shot and killed on school premises by responding law enforcement officers.
The shooting was the third deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, and the deadliest school shooting in the history of Texas. The shooting was widely condemned nationally, including by President Joe Biden and by gun control advocates, as well as internationally.
