Uvalde school shooting: New details on messages gunman sent before shooting | LiveNOW from FOX

The gunman who massacred 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school legally bought two AR-style rifles just days before the attack, soon after his 18th birthday, and seemed to hint online that something was about to happen.

This whole thing just hurts. Hurts in a deep way.

Terrible reporting. Dodging the REAL issue and trying to make this look like "buisness as usual" type of mass shooting. Jfc, I am from Ga and own PLENTY of guns and love them. But if I were asked to give up my high capacity mags, have an advanced background check including mental health on future purchases, and a mandatory 2 week to 1 month waiting period... I would not hesitate and I would THANK THEM. Because if that means it would increase the chances of stopping ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING or any mass shooting by even 1%, then that is worth it. Because no ones life, including the 19 CHILDREN killed this week, are less important than a WAITING PERIOD, HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINE, PISTOL GRIP "RIFLE", and EXPANDED BACKGROUND CHECK. If you disagree with that fact...Then maybe you shouldn't own a gun. No innocent life is worth more than an object that has ONE PURPOSE... to kill.

This has to stop all those lives just taken by a 18 year old boy and I couldn't imagine experiencing this as a mother 💔 my prayers are with you all 🙏💯

[jessa]

I just don't get why people do this, especially to children

[haydenmacintosh]

Im not American but I just dont get how as a nation you continue to let this happen.
You seem to take to the streets for issues I would say far less important than this to bring about change and yet parents are sending their kids to school crossing their fingers.
Change your gun laws!!

[smithaswaroop]

Oh god! Why can’t they just ban or make having the weapons illegal. How can a guy with the weapon get into the school with out ID was he from the same school .. why can’t school have strict rules for outsider .. I can’t imagine the pain the family is going through, my prayers

[alittleextra]

may his victims rest in peace but WTH you call Muslims terrorists 🙄 And you get school shootings at least 3 times a year

[isabellaaponte]

I still can’t process this. How was he able to get those guns? I can’t sleep because of it and I can’t imagine those who lost their loved ones. And I don’t know why but I feel like his mother doesn’t have much to say… something ain’t right.

Bro wth, these kids were excited for summer break. Waiting for their summer vacation..💔

[darkparker]

Of course, that guy is playing politics.

[ShawnAndr]

I can't seem to understand the need for muricans to have guns, I mean haven't you seen enough and lost enough through these massacres to know that civilians exposure to firearms so easily is a culture that inhibits violence and a state or rogue mentality.

An 18 year old kid who's hardly seen life, is gaslight enough to go and end lives of people whom he's never met, or wronged by, and at that children who are not even half his age.

The presence of gun culture and the extreme ease of access adds the deadliest means of venting out at the disposal to these young minds, who otherwise probably would have for the lack of such destructive means available to the, sought help themselves or be brought to seek help by their families or friends.

[madiola]

if your allowed to walk around Walmart in Texas with a gun on your side this is going to happen...change your gun laws people..

[tamarahoward]

Nothing is worth 19 innocent children’s lives in comparison to civil liberties if it cost one child their life that cost is too high

[lifeandstoryofficial]

Heart breaking 💔 little angels are with God now

[frankfucwit]

Horrible. It makes me wish teachers had guns

[drprasidh]

As a non American, I want know whether these incidents occur or are done by guys who were bullied or had bad foster homes or by someone just casually took a gun one day because of psychological problems?

[peterreidy]

So upsetting!The Gun lobby must stop peddling lethal weapons like chewing gum immediately!

[shannonblok]

Nothing will change from this. Just more “thoughts and prayers “.

[GoldenSun]

No justifying his actions but YET again this is a reflection of how we as a human race treat each other daily. This is the result of the culture WE have made. These lockdowns have not been healthy for everyone. I really hope this round change really happens. No one should have to suffer this kind of pain. 💔

[agentsnakeplisskin]

The police spokes person admitted there was an active shooter still inside a school full of kids, but then said they didn’t think anybody else was at risk. WTF? These cops need to be held accountable for their inaction to preserve life. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SAY FTP.
