UPDATED with amended toll: Nineteen second- to fourth-grade students and at least two adults, one of whom was a teacher, were killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school west of San Antonio today, the Associated Press reported late tonight.
The outlet also reported that federal law enforcement officials expect the death toll to rise. There are unconfirmed reports of multiple injuries.
Gov. Greg Abbott had said earlier that 14 children and one teacher were killed in the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Ulvade. The 18-year-old gunman was shot dead by officers and acted alone, Abbott said.

Minneapolis, MN – The Minneapolis City Council took the next step toward abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department on Wednesday despite skyrocketing violent crime in the city.
The advocacy group “Yes 4 Minneapolis Committee” had proposed an amendment to the city charter that would do away with the city’s police department and replace it with a public safety office with a “comprehensive public health approach,” KMSP reported.
However, the amendment does not define what that means or how it is supposed to be implemented.
But passing the amendment out of committee and agreeing to put it on the ballot moved the needle on the movement to abolish the police department which had been largely stagnant since the city charter commission voted almost a year ago to take another 90-days to review the proposed changes to the city’s charter.
Minneapolis City Council members initially announced plans to disband the police department in the wake of riots throughout the city following the death of 46-year-old George Floyd while he was being arrested by the Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020.
On June 7, 2020, nine members of the Minneapolis City Council announced that they would vote to disband the city’s police department, KSMP reported.
They proudly told supporters at a rally that they had the votes to override Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s veto of the move, after the mayor came out against abolishing the city’s law enforcement agency.
Retired Detroit Police Chief James Craig said, in a televised interview, that he’s running to unseat Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Craig, a Republican, made the announcement during a Wednesday interview on the Fox News show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” He also announced he was forming a gubernatorial exploratory committee. “I can’t help but think about the small businesses who are suffering through the pandemic — and now we want to give … handouts and businesses can’t even hire employees,” Craig said. “I’ve got to tell you — I’m running, because when I look at politicians across the country — when I look at Governor Whitmer, she follows different rules — she just does.
I haven’t seen anyone from the women’s US Soccer team go to any of the shootings victims homes or neighborhoods in Chicago, Baltimore, DC, Portland, Atlanta or NYC.
Have any of you??? They don’t care about the victims of these crimes. Innocent Children waking to the store or home are being Murdered in our streets and they haven’t called one press conference to denounce any of these violent incidents.
That face you make when you suck and care more about virtue signaling than being a pampered athlete. Screw you, go play for China.

Philadelphia, PA – A Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) employee celebrating his 25th anniversary with the agency was surprised to see the cake a local bakery made to commemorate his achievement was emblazoned with words mocking his profession.
Tina Jones said she commissioned the cake from The Bakery House in honor of her friend’s milestone, WPVI reported.
Jones included a photo of a PPD badge with her order, which includes the verbiage “Honor, Integrity, Service.”
But when Jones brought the cake to her friend’s office so he could celebrate with his coworkers, the honoree realized that the badge on his cake read “Coffee, Corruption, Donuts” instead, WPVI reported.
“I wanted to cry because I’m like, ‘I can’t believe they did this,’” Jones told the news outlet. “That’s so humiliating to put on someone’s cake who is serving 25 years and in a not-so-easy job.”
The bakery’s owner, Sandy Stauffer, said the patch that ended up being printed on the cake was a horrible mistake and that the decorator had no idea the image she’d used contained the offensive words.
Stauffer explained the decorator was looking for a crisper image of the badge online because she wanted a clearer, less-blurry photo than the one Jones had provided with her order.
She quickly located what she said she believed was an identical badge, printed it out, and used it to decorate the cake, the bakery owner said.
“It was a mistake,” Stauffer wrote in a Facebook post on Monday. “One of my decorators did not see the fine print and placed a disrespectful image on the cake. She believed she was choosing a crisper/clearer image. In her haste, it was an image that had been manipulated. No one caught the mistake.”
Early yesterday morning, cops from the NYPD 67th Precinct were on a fixed post to address community concerns when they were suddenly assaulted with a glass bottle in an unprovoked attack.
The suspect, who has been arrested for assaulting officers twice in the past, was quickly caught.
The officer received lacerations to the neck and head which required stitches and staples, but thankfully will be OK. 24/7 your NYPD officers put themselves in harms way to protect this city, it’s residents and it’s visitors.
