(CNN)A suspect is in custody after a shooting incident at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, left at least two dead and injured 14 people, including students, authorities said.

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (UCISD) posted about an "active shooter" at Robb Elementary at 12:17 p.m. local time and said law enforcement was on site.

The suspect was taken into custody as of 1:06 p.m. local time, according to the Uvalde Police Department.
Two have died after the shooting at Robb Elementary School, a spokesperson from Uvalde Memorial Hospital told CNN.

The hospital received 13 children at their facility who were being treated for varying injuries, he said. Two children were transported to San Antonio and another is pending transfer, Tom Nordwick said.

Additionally, two patients were dead on arrival, he said. Nordwick was not sure of the ages of the two deceased. A man in his 40s was also being treated there, he said.

Nordwick did not have conditions on any of the victims.

It's 7:30 PM on the east coast, there's only 90 minutes before his bedtime.
He could have waited until morning to make a speech and just release a short statement today. Would be better for his PR as well, not that Biden (or his handlers) really know how to make good PR for themselves.
 
I’m sure Biden continuously flubbing through a speech will be assuring to those parents
You know what, I'm impressed he'd actually touch this. He's never had a problem being hypocritical before.

Unless he's going to pretend the shooter was another white supremacist, then I take this all back
You know midterm voting season has begun, right?

I fucking hate these white supremacist.
 
make it harder for undesirables to access guns in the US vs eliminating all the Jews in Europe. You've bested me with your analogy skills, I concede
And who would you designate an "undesirable," oh most wise genius you? Hitler did disarm the Jews and others he wanted to exterminate, by the way. The communists did the same thing when they took over the Russian Empire.
Nah...Biden is going to try to copy Obama's crocodile tears with Sandy Hook but blunder and fuck it up.
Crocodile tears is as accurate as anything when it comes to the David Hoggs and politicians of the world.
 
I remember when Sandy Hook happened, there was some talk that one easy way to prevent something like that from happening was so that people had to be buzzed into the school like an apartment building, ie nutters couldn't just waltz in and mow down children. You would have to have a reason to be let in the school building. I thought that was a perfectly reasonable suggestion but I don't know if it ever happened anywhere, seems like it may have stopped or at least impeded this shooter.
 
With that many dead, if he's speaking in an hour there's a good goddamn chance a lot of those parents are still waiting to hear if their child is dead or injured. The definition of "too soon" from this clueless administration, as usual.
We'll see what the speech is about when it airs but I would suspect the skeleton of this was written in advance and they're merely penning in the various details so they can flog their gun control shtick. Just a matter of waiting until they get a shooting with a high enough death toll and offensive enough target selection. Blasting up a subway car, shooting church goers or people shopping isn't good enough, people die every day and this is viewed by the population as unacceptable but not outrageous, College and High School shootings occur often enough that they're also largely not rage inducing to the citizenry, it HAS to be an elementary school.
 
Wont stop shit, guns are regulated in Bongland and we still had a spree shooting in plymouth. Ban all the guns you want, it wont make asking the difficult questions like what makes people go fucking postal any easier.
A shooting happened in Perth in Australia too, because the dude was a criminal and had access to guns. regular crazy hermits don't have the connections to get guns like in the US. You have to know serious criminals or be from a farm.
 
Only the primaries. Though, politicians love mass shoutings because they are convenient to use to push for more gun control.
Mass "shoutings?"

I knew the DNC was going to use aggressive speech as an excuse to ban all speech! Hands off my 1A you commie bastards!
