President asks why US ‘willing to live with this carnage’ after gunman kills at least 19 children and two adults
President Joe Biden has urged tougher gun controls and asked why the US is “willing to live with this carnage” after a teenage gunman murdered at least 19 children and two adults in the country’s deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade.
The suspect, identified as Salvador Ramos, 18, charged into the Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, about 80 miles (130 km) west of San Antonio, at 11.30am on Tuesday shortly after shooting his grandmother, who survived.
