Shooting At A Texas Elementary School Leaves 14 Students And A Teacher Dead

 



Two days before the start of summer break, an 18-year-old man opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday, killing 14 students and one teacher, Gov. Greg Abbott said.[/b]

Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District police Chief Pete Arredondo said there also were multiple injuries from a “mass casualty incident” at Robb Elementary in Uvalde. The gunman is believed to have acted alone and is dead, he said.

Arredondo[i][/i] declined to provide further details or take questions.

The suspected shooter is from Uvalde, Abbott said. He was identified as Salvador Ramos, according to officials.

“It’s believed that he abandoned his vehicle and entered into the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde with a handgun and he may have also had a rifle, but that is not yet confirmed according to my most recent report. He shot and killed, horrifically, incomprehensively, fourteen students and killed a teacher,” he said.

The  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission finally arrested a former Governor of  Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, after a long siege to his Maitama residence in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Tuesday.

The EFCC officers whisked the embattled former governor away at exactly 06:48 pm in their vehicle after breaking into his living room.

Minutes before the officers broke in, Okorocha, in a live video made on his official Facebook Page, said officers of the commission had broken all his bulletproof doors.

He said, “The EFCC operatives are here with some gunmen and they have broken all my bulletproof doors. This may be my last appearance because I don’t know what they want to do.”

Sports: Premier League’s top African star in each stat category


Mohamed Salah tops this category for African players, and indeed across the Premier League, as he ended the campaign with 23 goals tied in top spot overall with Son Heung-min.

The Egypt superstar’s haul wins him his third Premier League Golden Boot as he becomes the first African player to top the scoring charts in three separate PL campaigns.

Salah again leads the way here, having registered 13 assists throughout the campaign. It’s again the most of any player in the division during the course of the season, as the Liverpool sensation becomes only the fourth player in Prem history to lead both the goal charts and the assists charts in a single campaign.
