UVALDE, Texas – A gunman opened fire at a elementary school in Uvalde on Tuesday, killing 14 people. The gunman, identified as Salvador Ramos, was also killed, Gov. Greg Abbott said.
According to a Facebook post from Uvalde Memorial Hospital at 2:47 p.m., officials said that had received 13 children via ambulance, although it’s not clear if the two children who were dead on arrival were among the 13. Two children were transferred to San Antonio and one child was pending transfer. University Health confirmed on Twitter that University Hospital received a child and an adult from the school.
Hospital officials also said several students are being treated in the emergency room. Immediate family members of the injured students are asked to report to the hospital cafeteria on the second floor. UMH staff will keep in constant contact with those family members. Hospital officials ask residents who are not immediate family members to stay away from the hospital.
“They are currently being evaluated so we don’t have a condition to release at this time,” the tweet said.
In a Facebook post at 2 p.m., UCISD said that students have been evacuated to the Willie DeLeon Civic Center and that parents are now allowed to pick up their children there.
There is still a large law enforcement presence at the school and residents are asked to stay away from the campus. The rest of the district is secure, authorities said.
The San Antonio Police Department has sent resources to the school and is standing by to assist as further needed, Police Chief William McManus said.
