It should have been the first day of a joyous week for Robb Elementary School students - the start of summer break. Instead, the first two of 19 children slain inside a classroom were being remembered at funeral visitations.
Video shows parents begging police officers to charge into the Texas elementary school where a gunman's rampage killed 19 children and two teachers.
Jacob Albarado, an off-duty Border Patrol agent who rushed to the school with a shotgun borrowed from his barber, said Tuesday it was chaotic when he arrived in search of his daughter and wife. Both were physically unharmed in the attack, he said. Authorities have said Ramos legally purchased two guns not long before the school attack: an AR-style rifle on May 17 and a second rifle on May 20. He had just turned 18, permitting him to buy the weapons under federal law.and pledging,"We will," in response to people chanting,"Do something," President Joe Biden on Monday expressed some optimism that there may be some bipartisan support to tighten restrictions on the kind of high-powered weapons used by the gunman.
"The Second Amendment was never absolute," Biden said."You couldn't buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed. You couldn't go out and buy a lot of weapons."
