UVALDE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — CBS News reports at least two people were killed, a 66-year-old woman is in critical condition and several others were hospitalized after an “active shooter” was reported by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District.
The shooter, who caused a district-wide lockdown on Tuesday, is now in custody, police said.
The shooting happened at Robb Elementary School, which has an enrollment of just under 600 students.
The district said that the city’s civic center will be used as a reunification center and that parents can pick up their children there once everyone is accounted for.
The Uvalde Memorial Hospital shared on Facebook that 13 children were transported there for treatment. Their post also said two patients were deceased.
A second hospital, University Hospital, tweeted “We have received two patients from the shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, one child and one adult. They are currently being evaluated so we don’t have a condition to release at this time.”
Uvalde is about 85 miles west of San Antonio.
