Webster County Sheriff Luke Fleener On Texas School Shooting

An 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 19 children, two adults including one teacher and wounding another 15 children and four adults.. as he went from classroom to classroom, officials said, in the latest gruesome moment for a country scarred by a string of massacres. 

The attacker was killed by law enforcement.

The assault at Robb Elementary School is the deadliest shooting at a U.S. grade school since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary almost a decade ago.

In the wake of Tuesday’s horrific events people are questioning why? And how do we keep our children and our communities safe?
