school shooting kills multiple people, including children

For franceinfo, journalist Camille Guttin makes a first assessment of the shooting that barely occurred in a school in Texas: 14 children killed, with their teacher, while 13 other children and several adults were taken to hospital. The school”is in a very rural setting“, she clarifies, adding that “the shooter is an 18 year old young man. He would have arrived with a pick-up then would have entered the school to start shooting“.

His motives remain unknown at this time. “This happens in a very particular context since 10 days ago, it was already the Buffalo massacre, where African Americans were targeted in a supermarket“, recalls the journalist. A few days ago, a man was also killed in a shooting that broke out in the New York subway. To stem the phenomenon, the President of the United States Joe Biden is calling for more regulation in the law to carrying a weapon.
