A look at deadliest school shootings; Texas leads the way
An 18-year-old gunman massacred 21 people, including 19 children and two adults at an elementary school in Texas

An 18-year-old gunman massacred 21 people, including 19 children and two adults at an elementary school in Texas on Tuesday. This is the second mass shooting in the US in the past 10 days, prompting President Joe Biden to denounce the country's gun lobby. The motive of the gunman, identified as Salvador Ramos, is yet to be ascertained.

Biden says
'Mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world'

School shootings in the US are not rare occurrences and Tuesday's incident prompted the president to say, "These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world." There have been several such incidents in the US over the years, however, until the Colorado Columbine High School in 1999, the number of dead was always in the single digits, the Associated Press reported.

Information
Texas leads in school shooting incidents

According to research by Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit organization that was formed after the deadly 2012 shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, Texas has had the highest school shooting incidents in the United States since 2013.
