From The Daily Mail:The death toll from Tuesday's shooting at a Texas elementary school has risen to 19 students and two teachers - all murdered by an 18-year-old gunman.The gunman was shot dead by a heroic Border Patrol agent who ran into the school with a tactical support team and killed him while he was barricaded inside, and exchanging gunfire with other Texas law enforcement officers. The gunman, Salvador Ramos - wearing body armor, equipped with a handgun and possibly a rifle - shot his grandmother before entering the school and opening fire, said Governor Greg Abbott. The grandmother was airlifted to hospital and her condition was unknown. One of the teachers was named by her family as Eva Mireles, 44. The second has not been named.Ramos, who was born in North Dakota but lived in Uvalde, had been a student at Uvalde High School, Abbott said. One of his friends at high school said he was teased about his clothes and his family's financial situation.He worked at Wendy's, where staff remembered him as quiet.Ramos's young victims were aged between seven and 11, CNN's Ed Lavandera reported. On Tuesday night their names were beginning to be confirmed by family members.The dead included Xavier Lopez, 10; Makenna Elrod, 10; Rogelio Torres; and Nevaeh Bravo. The family of Uziyah Garcia, also a fourth grader, said he was killed in the shooting - hours after announcing he was among the missing.'My nephew was a victim of a school shooting today,' Mitch Renfro wrote on Facebook, confirming Garcia's death. 'An 8-year-old was killed by a crazy man.'The father of 10-year-old Annabelle Guadalupe Rodriguez said that she was also still missing.'He shot and killed - horrifically and incomprehensibly - 14 students and killed a teacher,' Abbott said at a press briefing. The death toll was later revised to 18 children.'There are families that are in mourning right now. And the state of Texas is in mourning with them.'
