On May 24, 2022, 18-year-old Salvador Rolando Ramos fatally shot nineteen students and two teachers, and wounded seventeen others at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Earlier that day, the perpetrator had shot his grandmother in the face, severely wounding her. After firing shots outside the school for approximately five minutes,[6] he entered Robb Elementary School armed with an AR-15 style rifle and handgun through a propped open side entrance, left open by a teacher, without encountering armed resistance.[7][8] The perpetrator locked himself inside a classroom, where he killed his victims over the course of an hour, before being killed by a United States Border Patrol tactical team.[9] It was the third-deadliest American school shooting, after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, and the deadliest ever in Texas.[10][11]

Law enforcement officials were criticized for their long delay in response to the shooting. When police officers arrived at the campus, they waited for approximately 78 minutes before engaging with the suspect. In addition, police cordoned the school grounds during the shooting, resulting in violent conflicts between police and civilians who were attempting to enter the school to assist.[12][13][14] Afterwards, local and state officials gave conflicting and exaggerated reports of the timeline of police actions.[15]

Following the shooting, wider discussions ensued about American gun culture and violence, gridlock in politics, and law enforcement in the United States as an institution. Some have advocated for a policy to ban assault weapons in the country or to defund the police. Others criticized politicians for their perceived role in continuing to enable mass shootings.[16] Republicans have responded by resisting the implementation of gun control measures,[17][18] instead calling for increasing security measures in schools;[19][20] they also accused their opponents of politicizing the shooting.[21][22][23]

Background

Robb Elementary School in 2015

Uvalde, Texas, is a Hispanic-majority city of about 16,000 people in the South Texas region; it is located about 60 miles (97 km) from the United States–Mexico border and about 85 miles (137 km) from San Antonio.[4] In 2022, about 90 percent of Robb Elementary School's 600 students in second through fourth grade were Hispanic, and about 81 percent of the student population came from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.[24][25][26]

The city of Uvalde spent 40% of its municipal budget on its police department in the 2019–20 fiscal year.[27][28] Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (UCISD), the school district governing Robb Elementary School, had multiple security measures in place at the time of the shooting, including four officers working within the school district and a security staff that patrolled door entrances and parking lots at secondary campuses. The school also uses Social Sentinel, a service that monitors Uvalde-affiliated social media accounts to identify threats made against students or staff in UCISD.[29]

Shooting

On May 24, 2022, Salvador Rolando Ramos and his 66-year-old grandmother had an argument at their home in Uvalde about his failure to graduate from high school,[30] during which he shot her in the forehead before taking her truck.[31][32] She survived and sought help from neighbors while police were called.[33] She was then airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio in critical condition.[34][35] Using his Facebook account, the perpetrator sent three private messages to a 15-year-old girl from Germany whom he met online[36] prior to the shooting: the first to say that he was going to shoot his grandmother, a second to say that he had shot his grandmother, and a third, about 15 minutes before the shooting, to say that he was going to open fire at an elementary school.[37][38][39] A spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of Facebook, said the posts were "private one-to-one text messages" discovered after the shooting took place.[38]

Police lines set up outside of Robb Elementary School

The perpetrator crashed his grandmother's truck through a barricade and into a concrete ditch outside Robb Elementary School at 11:28 a.m. CDT (UTC–5).[33][41] According to police and security camera footage, he was wearing a plate carrier—a type of tactical vest—without armor inserts,[42][43] a backpack, and all-black clothing while carrying a handgun,[4] an AR-15 style rifle,[33] and standard capacity magazines. A witness said he first fired at two people at a nearby funeral home, both of whom escaped uninjured.[44] He then dropped a black bag with ammunition inside and ventured further into the school.[45] Soon after, police reported receiving 9-1-1 calls about a vehicle having crashed near the school and a person armed with a rifle who had been seen heading inside. The perpetrator walked into the school through its south entrance between 11:30 and 11:40.[41][46][47]

The majority of the shooting occurred inside the building within the first few minutes; the perpetrator was in the building for 40 to 60 minutes while armed police remained outside the classroom and building.[15] Officers arrived four minutes after the perpetrator entered the school and attempted to make entry, but retreated after he fired at them.[48] Officers were not successful in establishing negotiations with the perpetrator.[49]

The United States Marshals Service drove nearly 70 miles to the school and arrived at 12:10 p.m. where they helped officers initially confront the shooter, render first aid, and secure the perimeter.[50] After the police cordoned the outside of the school, parents pleaded with officers to enter the building. When they did not, parents offered to enter the building themselves.[51][52] Officers held back and tackled parents who tried to enter the school, further warning that they would use tasers if the parents did not comply with directions; video clips were uploaded to social media, including one that depicted a parent being pinned to the ground.[53] A parent was pepper-sprayed while trying to get to their child, and a father was tackled. Police reportedly used a taser on a parent who approached a bus to get their child.[14] A mother of two students at the school was placed in handcuffs by officers for attempting to enter the school.[54] When released from the handcuffs, she jumped the fence and retrieved her children, exiting before police entered.[54] Some police officers were reported to have entered the school early to retrieve their own children while parents were being blocked from entering outside.[55]

After entering the building, the perpetrator walked down two short hallways, entered a classroom that was internally connected to another classroom, and opened fire on the children and two teachers in the room.[37] All of the victims were located in the fourth grade classroom where he locked the door.[56] According to a male student who hid in the adjoining classroom, the perpetrator came in and crouched a bit, saying "it's time to die", before starting shooting.[57] Afterwards, an officer had called out "Yell if you need help!" In response, a girl in the same classroom said "Help", the perpetrator heard the girl, entered the classroom, and shot her.[58] The student said that the officer then barged into the classroom, the perpetrator shot at the officer, and then more officers started shooting.[58] The perpetrator fired a total of 116 rounds.[59]

The UCISD police chief estimated that the shooting began at 11:32; according to a Facebook post by the school, the school was locked down at 11:43 in response to gunshots heard in the vicinity.[60] According to a Texas DPS lieutenant, first responding officers had insufficient manpower and were unable to enter the classroom, and they instead evacuated children and teachers by breaking windows around the school.[37][45] The perpetrator stayed in the classroom for around one hour, hiding behind a steel door that officers were unable to open until they obtained a master key from the principal.[30] At 12:17 p.m., UCISD sent out a message on Twitter that there was an active shooter at the elementary school.[61] A Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) agent rushed to the scene after receiving a text message from his wife, a teacher there. Prior to this, the officer had been off duty and was about to get a haircut before receiving the news. The officer immediately set out with a shotgun his barber had lent him and arrived on scene approximately an hour after the first responders arrived.[62] As UCISD officers exchanged fire with the shooter, BORTAC agents joined them in response to a request for assistance; one sustained an injury.[63] According to Governor Greg Abbott, the injured Border Patrol agent fatally shot the perpetrator.[64]

File:Salvador Ramos 2022.png
Ramos in 2022

The 18-year-old perpetrator, Salvador Rolando Ramos, was a resident of Uvalde and a former student at Uvalde High School who was born in North Dakota.[74] Prior to the shooting, he had neither a criminal record nor any documented mental health issues.[37] According to his classmates and some of his friends, he had a stutter and a strong lisp, for which he was often bullied; he frequently had fistfights with classmates, occasionally with boxing gloves, which he carried around with him, and he had few friends. The perpetrator was expected to graduate from high school in 2022, but his frequent absences made his graduation unlikely. He eventually dropped out of school.[30][75] Social media acquaintances of the perpetrator said he openly abused animals such as cats and would livestream the abuse on Yubo.[76] Up until a month before the shooting, he worked at a local Wendy's and had been employed there for at least a year. According to the store's night manager, he went out of his way to keep to himself.[77] One of his coworkers said he was occasionally rude to his female coworkers, to whom he sent inappropriate text messages, and would threaten cooks at his job by asking them, "Do you know who I am?"[30]

A year before the shooting, the perpetrator started posting pictures to his Instagram account of automatic rifles that were on his wish list. He would drive around at night with a friend and shoot at people with a BB gun and throw eggs at cars. According to a man who was in a relationship with his mother, the perpetrator moved out of his mother's house and into his grandparents' house two months before the shooting, after an argument broke out between him and his mother over her turning off the Wi-Fi.[38] He posted a video of himself on Instagram aggressively arguing with his mother and referring to her as a "bitch".[78] People close to the perpetrator's family described his mother as a drug user.[75] His grandfather said that he did not have a driver's license, and did not know how to drive.[31]

The perpetrator legally purchased a semi-automatic rifle from a local gun store on May 17, 2022, a day after his 18th birthday, and he purchased another rifle three days later.[42] He also sent an Instagram message to an acquaintance he met through Yubo, which showed a receipt for an AR-15 style rifle purchased from Georgia-based online retailer Daniel Defense eight days before the shooting.[3][79][80] He then posted a picture of two rifles on his Instagram account three days before the shooting.[81] On May 18, 2022, he purchased 375 rounds of 5.56 NATO ammunition.[42]

Investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are assisting local police in the investigation.[34][82] The perpetrator's guns and magazines were recovered by law enforcement for analysis.[63]

Aftermath

UCISD asked parents not to pick up their children until all Robb Elementary School students were accounted for. At around 2:00 p.m., parents were notified to pick them up. All district and campus activities were canceled, and the parents of students at other schools were asked to pick up their children due to school bus cancellations.[29] The UCISD superintendent announced that night in a letter sent to parents that the school year had concluded for the entire district, including the cancelation of a planned graduation ceremony. The school year had previously been scheduled to end that Thursday.[83] Some parents had to wait late into the night for final confirmation of their child's death, awaiting DNA identification.[45] Multiple survivors from the shooting have expressed their fear of returning to school.[84][85]

The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center issued an urgent request for blood donations after the shooting, and it sent 15 units of blood to Uvalde via helicopter to be used in area hospitals.[86] Uvalde Memorial Hospital announced on Facebook that they would be holding an emergency blood drive for the victims.[87] In the wake of the shooting, Donna Independent School District, which serves Donna, Texas, an area four and a half hours from Uvalde, received a "credible threat of violence". In response, the district cancelled school while it looked to investigate the threat.[88]

CBS pulled the fourth-season finale of FBI that was to air that night; the episode involved a fictional school shooting as a plot point.[89] Netflix posted a trigger warning for the first episode of the fourth season of Stranger Things due to its opening scene containing "graphic violence involving children".[90]

Responses

Reactions from politicians

President Joe Biden delivering a speech regarding the shooting on May 24, 2022.

Representatives for President Joe Biden, who was returning to the United States from a trip to Asia, announced that he had been briefed on the shooting and would be making public remarks later that evening after arriving back home.[91][92] He ordered flags to be flown at half-staff,[92] and spoke to Texas Governor Greg Abbott from Air Force One.[93]

The shooting was condemned by former presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.[94][95][96] Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) described the attack as an "unbelievably tragic and horrible crime", and she expressed support for red flag laws that help restrict potentially violent individuals from accessing firearms.[2] Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), a gun rights supporter who opposes expanding gun control regulations, called the shooting "yet another act of evil and mass murder". He offered his prayers to the families and children affected by the shooting, and said that the country has seen "too many of these shootings."[97]

A memorial set up outside Robb Elementary school for the victims of the shooting

The day after the shooting, Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) falsely claimed that its perpetrator was a "transsexual leftist illegal alien" in a tweet, which was taken down two hours after it was posted.[98] The claim was based on a rumor started by an anonymous poster on the /pol/ imageboard on 4chan, who posted the Reddit account of a transgender woman and claimed that she was the shooter; photos of the woman were widely shared on social media, including in conservative Facebook groups, where she was also erroneously identified as the shooter and harassed.[99][100]

Texas Senator John Cornyn meeting with local Uvalde leaders

During a press conference regarding the shooting held by Abbott in Uvalde on May 25, Abbott blamed the shooting on "a problem with mental health illness" in the local community; he added that the perpetrator had no known criminal or mental health history.[101] Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic candidate in the 2022 Texas gubernatorial election, confronted Abbott during the press conference by telling him, "You said this was not predictable – this was totally predictable, and you choose not to do anything." Don McLaughlin, the Republican mayor of Uvalde since 2014,[102] asked O'Rourke to leave the press conference, saying, "I can't believe you're a sick son of a bitch who would come to a deal like this to make a political issue."[23] O'Rourke was then escorted out of the auditorium.[103] In response to a reporter's question on Abbott blaming the shooting on mental health, O'Rourke criticized Abbott for reducing mental health services and expanding gun access to 18-year-olds.[101][104][105]

Internationally, the shooting was condemned by various governments and politicians, including by the Government of Mexico,[106] which said it was working with American authorities to identify Mexican victims in the shooting.[107] In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition leader Keir Starmer both paid tribute to the victims in the House of Commons.[108] The shooting was also denounced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,[106][109] Chinese diplomat Wang Wenbin,[110] the European Union ambassador to the United States Stavros Lambrinidis,[106] French President Emmanuel Macron,[106][111] German Chancellor Olaf Scholz,[106] Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett,[112] New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern,[106][113] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,[106][114] United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres,[115] and Pope Francis.[116] The human-rights group Amnesty International said, "Among wealthier, developed countries, the U.S.A. is an outlier when it comes to firearm violence. U.S. governments have allowed gun violence to become a human rights crisis."[106]

Criticism of law enforcement

The police have faced questions and criticism regarding staging outside the school and not entering for 40 minutes to an hour after the perpetrator had entered the building.[117] Akela Lacy of The Intercept wrote an article titled "Cops Didn't Stop the Uvalde Shooting" with the subtitle: "And they might have made it even worse."[27] The Daily Beast wrote, "The harrowing video from the scene seems to make the police response all the more baffling."[118] Police arrested and handcuffed one mother who drove to the school after hearing about the shooting, which prevented her from trying to save her children.[13][14] At a May 26 press conference, asked whether first responders had erred in waiting for reinforcements, a DPS official said he did not "have enough information to answer that question yet."[49] Law enforcement officials have continued to defend their actions following the shooting.[119] Uvalde Police Chief Daniel Rodriguez defended his officers in a statement May 26, saying, "It is important for our community to know that our officers responded within minutes."[120] Former Austin and Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo tweeted, "We don't have all of the particulars right now, but when gunfire is ringing out with, police are trained, expected, and required to engage, engage, engage. This is a moral and ethical obligation."[49]

Officials gave conflicting explanations of the events of the shooting, which were criticized by the media. Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officials initially reported that a school resource officer had engaged the shooter outside the building before he entered; they later confirmed there was no school resource officer on duty.[15][14] DPS made the correction that he "walked in unobstructed" through an apparently unlocked door.[62][121] Vice reported that "Texas law enforcement officials are being strangely opaque about what actually happened during the shooting."[122] They further reiterated the "police timeline ... has a lot of holes."[122] At press conferences it called "chaotic and confusing", The Texas Tribune wrote that officials "refused to answer many questions about the tactics" the officers used.[15] On May 26, Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas called for the FBI to investigate the conflicting narratives of law enforcement officials.[123]

On May 27, Abbott stated at a press conference he was "misled" and given "inaccurate" information by law enforcement agencies, stating, "I'm absolutely livid about that."[124] The HuffPost wrote Abbott "stopped short of offering an apology for repeating [the misleading information]".[124] At the same press conference, he rejected calls for increased gun control measures.[125] CNN reported Mayor Don McLaughlin, who sat by Abbott at the presser, was "left as dumbfounded as the governor by the changing stories of law enforcement."[125]

The shooting occurred on the day before the second anniversary of the murder of George Floyd and days after the 2022 Buffalo shooting, leading to widespread discussion over the social function of police as an institution. A political discussion ensued over whether policy to ban assault weapons and defund the police was possible in 2022's political landscape, leading to larger discussions about the relationship between the police and those in power.[16] Many questioned how the police in Uvalde had come to consume nearly half the municipal budget yet still fail to quickly intervene in the shooting despite prior preparation. Police abolitionists argue that increased budgets for police officers do not generally go towards fighting violence and preserving community safety but instead go towards surveilling the public and criminalizing civilians.[126][127] Abolitionists argued that the shooting exposes how many community safety functions of policing are in fact myths.[128]

Gun control discussions

President Biden delivered a speech on the shooting and asked, "When in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?"[129] However, he did not lay out any concrete plans, which disappointed gun control activists.[130] In a speech given on the night of the shooting, Vice President Kamala Harris reacted to the shooting by calling for policy changes to prevent similar shootings.[94] Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for the U.S. to pass stricter gun control measures, and he urged Republican members of Congress to resist influence from the National Rifle Association (NRA), a gun-rights lobby that Democrats have long blamed for Republican lawmakers' resistance to supporting gun control.[131]

The NRA-ILA's annual leadership forum on May 27 in Houston drew heavy criticism in light of the recent shooting. Former president Donald Trump, governors Kristi Noem and Greg Abbott, lieutenant governor Dan Patrick, senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, and representative Dan Crenshaw were previously scheduled to give remarks;[132] however, Cornyn and Crenshaw subsequently cancelled their attendances, and Abbott announced that he would instead appear at a news conference in Uvalde and send pre-recorded remarks to the NRA convention.[133] The Secret Service forbade the forum's attendees from carrying firearms during Trump's speech.[134] Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of a firearm used in the shooting, decided not to attend.[135]

Top Texas Republican officials, such as Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan of Beaumont, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Representative Tony Gonzales of San Antonio, and Senators Cornyn and Cruz, resisted the possibility of increased gun control measures.[136][137] Abbott said that tougher gun regulations were "not a real solution".[136] Instead of gun control,[17][18] Republican officials have called for increasing security presence in schools, limiting entryways into schools, and arming teachers and other school officials.[19][20] Republicans have also promoted the Luke and Alex Safety Act, which would create a national database of school safety practices.[138] Senator Cruz commented that some politicians would politicize the shooting to push for stricter gun reforms.[21][22] Users on social media accused Cruz of hypocrisy for accepting money from gun interest groups, and for planning to speak at the NRA's annual meeting being held in Houston with Abbott and Cornyn.[97]

Manuel Oliver, a gun control activist and the father of a Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victim, issued a statement expressing his outrage, and said that the families of the victims do not need the thoughts and prayers of politicians; instead, "they need their kids."[139] Several families of victims in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting spoke out, with several calling for stricter gun control.[140] Activist Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was killed during the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, also called for politicians to enact stricter gun control, and expressed support for the families of Robb Elementary School victims.[141] Gun manufacturer Daniel Defense was met with social media criticism in the wake of the shooting, including criticism of a since-deleted Twitter post made on May 16 depicting a child holding a Daniel Defense rifle, causing the company to make many of its social media accounts private.[142]

In a press conference during the 2022 NBA playoffs, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed his outrage at the refusal of American politicians to implement laws on gun control while the Miami Heat urged their fans to contact state senators 'demanding their support for common sense gun laws.'[143][144] The social media accounts for New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays began posting facts about gun violence during a game in St. Petersburg, Florida.[145][146]
