On the 24th (local time), there was a shooting at an elementary school in Uvald, Texas, USA, killing 21 people, including 19 elementary school students.
The killer, an 18-year-old man named Salvador Ramos, was shot and killed by police at the scene.
It is known that right before his crime, he first shot his grandmother and then went to an elementary school, but his motive has yet to be confirmed.
It is known that the criminal entered the elementary school armed with an automatic rifle and pistol, but no one was able to stop it because there was no security guard to guard the school gate due to the shortage of jobs that led to the corona crisis.
US President Joe Biden, who returned home from a tour of Asia that day, received a report on the incident from a private plane and gave an emergency speech.
"It's wrong for an 18-year-old to buy two assault guns in a gun store," President Biden said.
The Texas elementary school shooting, which took place just 10 days after 10 black shoppers were killed in the indiscriminate shooting of a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, shocked the United States, especially since it was a crime against children.
