NEW DETAILS: A sergeant with the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN the shooter in the Uvalde school shooting crashed his car outside the campus, got out with a gun wearing body armor and got into a shootout with police before running inside.
The 18-year-old suspect, a student at Uvalde High School, is also dead, Gov. Greg Abbott said.
As he approached the school, an Uvalde ISD school resource officer engaged the suspect, but Ramos shot him, law enforcement sources said. "U.S. Border Patrol Agents responded to a law enforcement request for assistance re an active shooter situation inside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Upon entering the building, Agents & other law enforcement officers faced gun fire from the subject, who was barricaded inside," a DHS spokeswoman said in a statement posted to Twitter.
Two responding police officers were among those injured, Abbott said. They are expected to survive, he said.More News Videos
