Uvalde school shooting
The Uvalde school shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on May 24, 2022, at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, United States, when 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, a former student at the school, fatally shot 19 students and two teachers, while 17 others were injured but survived. After shooting and severely wounding his grandmother at their home earlier that day, Ramos drove to and entered the school, remaining for more than an hour in the classrooms where he shot his victims before members of the United States Border Patrol Tactical Unit fatally shot him, after bypassing numerous local and state officers who had been in the school's hallways for over an hour.
Crimson Elizondo is a former police officer in Texas. Elizondo was a serving police officer at the name of the Uvalde school shooting. Following the incident Elizondo was recorded on another police officer's bodycam stating that if her own child had been in the building she would have entered.[1][2]
Elizondo was later hired as a police officer by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District but her employment was terminated after her earlier remarks were brought to the attention of the School district.[3][4]
