TEXAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING
The 18-year old gunman opened fire at the school and was killed by law enforcement officers, authorities said. It was the deadliest mass shooting to unfold at an American school in nearly a decade.
A veteran educator, a jubilant 10-year-old and a fourth-grader who had just made the honor roll were among the dead.
