One day after 19 children and two teachers died in a deadly shooting at a Texas elementary school, Gov. Greg Abbott has released more details about the 18-year-old gunman.
On Wednesday, Abbott said during a press conference that the gunman took to social media before the deadly attack, warning that he would shoot up a school. Abbott added that the shooter used an AR-15.
In response to Abbott's comments about the gunman's social media posts, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone took to Twitter to clarify that the gunman's messages were sent privately, not publicly. The messages Gov. Abbott described were private one-to-one text messages that were discovered after the terrible tragedy occurred. We are closely cooperating with law enforcement in their ongoing investigation. According to the AP, Abbott added the gunman did not have a criminal or mental health history.
Lt. Chris Olivarez, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson, told CNN early Wednesday that all 21 victims were from the same classroom at Robb Elementary in Uvalde. Officials have identified all 21 victims, he said. Officials later said all families were notified.
