After Uvalde, how can we prevent the next mass shooting? Former counterterrorism coordinator John Cohen explains how attacks like the Texas elementary school shooting can be prevented.
As President Joe Biden left Mass at a Catholic Church in Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday afternoon, he walked over to a crowed of people outside chanting,"Do something."Biden and first lady Jill Biden attended Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. As they entered the sanctuary, Jill Biden reached out and lightly touched the hands of several people seated along the aisle as she and the president made their way to their seat in the first-row pew.
The 66-year-old woman, who police said was allegedly shot in the head by her grandson, is being treated at University Hospital in San Antonio, officials said. Some arrived with heavy equipment, others with whatever they could carry as they ran to the scene on foot. The Texas Department of Public Safety has said the incident commander wrongly believed the shooting had stopped.
The tactical team went in at 12:50 p.m. CDT and fatally shot the suspect, 77 minutes after the shooting started, officials said.
