Robb Elementary School, Uvalde, Texas |
It was quite shocking to hear the news that a lone shooter had gone on a killing spree in a school located in Houston, Texas in the United States.
From what I've pieced together, the shooter, who'd just turned 18 years old as it was his birthday, started out by shooting his grandmother sometime near 11 AM Central Daylight Savings Time (12 Eastern Standard Time). He then proceeded to Uvalde Elementary School where he crashed into the school building and at 11:32 CDST (12:32 EST) he began his shooting spree, killing somewhere between 15 and 18 students and 2 or 3 adults with a firearm.
It is saddening that this kind of tragedy is happening yet again and there's no sign of an end to such tragedies. The only accurate statement that can be made is, I wonder where it will happen next, and how soon.
Regardless, my condolences to the families and loved ones of this tragedy from myself here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
