This is why kids couldn't escape the "Texas massacre"

A US law enforcement official revealed new details about the deadly attack on an elementary school in Texas, which killed 21 people.

Lieutenant Christopher Olivares, an official in the Department of Public Safety, told CNN that all the victims were students in one place, which is the fourth grade at Robb Elementary School in Yuvaldi, which is about 135 km west of San Antonio.

According to "Sky News Arabia", 19 children and two teachers were killed in the shooting.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the identity of the attacker, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, and said he was a Yuvaldi resident.

The American newspaper "Washington Post" reported that the attacker who killed 19 children in an elementary school in Texas suffered from bullying in high school and on social media and while playing video games due to problems with his speech and accent, and he also left his mother's house because of drug use.

The United States witnesses almost daily shootings in public places, and major cities such as New York, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco are recording an increase in the rate of crimes committed with firearms, especially since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
