WWE Superstars and other personalities from the wrestling world mourned a tragic incident at a Texas elementary school today.
Today, the second, third, and fourth-graders were preparing to start their summer break this week at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. In a shocking turn of events, a gunman killed at least 19 children and two adults in the school. At least one of the adults killed was a teacher, while several other children were reportedly wounded.
The shooter was an 18-year-old man from a nearby high school. He also died at the scene, according to the report. Governor Greg Abbott said the gunman "shot and killed horrifically, incomprehensibly."
NYTimes called the incident the "second-deadliest American school shooting" since the horrifying massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary a decade back.
