US shooting: Latest from Uvalde, Texas, after school killings

From Checkpoint, 6:14 pm on 25 May 2022

The US is reeling yet again after a school shooting left 19 young children and two teachers dead in Texas.

The gunman was an 18-year-old man who was himself shot dead by police. The tragedy comes less than 10 years after the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in November 2012 which left 26 people dead.

The horror has reignited calls for gun control in a country that's historically been resistant to change.
