#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #SchoolShooting #Texas
the one mother words should be immortalized… When she said…how unlucky I am to live in a country that allows this to keep happening…I never heard anything more true in my entire life
How many refugees and foreigners dream of living in US. Do they know the dark side of this country?
How unlucky we are to have lawmakers who work for special interest groups like the NRA and take the blood money they’re given, rather than act to protect the people that elected them, and who they are elected to serve.
Republican Senators you have blood on your hands!
Pass the legislation for gun reform or wear the clock of shame for choosing money over the lives of little kids.
If you choose the money, if you refuse to act, you are as guilty as the shooters.
You are as psychopathic as any killer.
Fact..I feel the same because this rarely happens anywhere else yet its a great country to live in😏
@larzuga1 agreed… If there ever was a definition of the word pagan it's… USA
Move somewhere else.
He bought the guns with Governor's permission! He bought the guns legally!!!
Abbott- dont blame the shooter. You made easy for him to obtain horrible rifles.
Yea, it is terribly sad but he the shooter is not the only one to blame. Who signed the gun laws???
The governor didn't allow him to buy guns when that law is 60 yrs old. Ban all assault weapons and extended clips
Absolutely agree with you 👍
👎🏿
The second amendment right is not equal to the safety of school children. Unfortunately it's clear we can have only one or the other.
We have had guns in this country since before the American revolution. School shootings were not happening until roughly the last two decades. Something else changed. Guns have been around.
We love you Tom Llamas...you do a great job...sending you love...be safe
I would literally lose my mind! I send prayers of strength and through the grace of God healing to the victims families to help them get through this..🙏🙏❤❤
yep prayers and tears have solved so many of our problems
Is this the same God who could have prevented this from happening but didn't?
@@ramaraksha01
God bless you. I don't have the answers. And I don't know why things happen or why were tested so unbearably.. which are the times to closely hold on to faith. Also it's as simple as this , if you don't believe this should have no effect on you so why waste your time.. what I do know is that during hardships/ life.. there needs to be empathy and help not negativity...
This is just heartbroken. Look at those pure souls..
It's crazy that the "strongest" country cannot protect children because of the greed and bravado of grownups.
Amen!!!
Several cops watched as that 18 yr old monster entered the elementary school. A school that ALSO has an armed security officer on site. Apparently, there was an initial conflict and these “good cops” did not stop that monster from entering that school. These “good guys” WATCHED as that monster locked himself in and began to slaughter these children. They LISTENED to him murder these children, HEARD their cries of terror and DID NOTHING! These “good guys” WAITED for over an hour before they began their siege. These “good guys” have just as much blood on their hands as that monster does.
@@Ms.Renee54 Yes, unfortunately, it is true.
The police were scared to go in because he was shooting at them. Imagine that, an armed gunman running into a school and you're afraid to go in after him
Insanity by adults.. 🙄🇺🇸
I couldn't believe it! They r just as responsible in my opinion"!
Scott he threatened to do it he went on Facebook and social media to say he was going to do it and nobody paid attention to this.
Excuses from governor Gregg Abbott and shifting blame, comparing with other states. Schools are for learning, not for living in fear or defending.
"Get a SGT or LT when you call the cops?" LOLz! Good luck w/ that.
Hello Abbott, so you said the shooter had an evil in his heart?
Yes but what did you have in your head when you signed gun laws so anybody can have access to buy terrible guns?? what went through your head?
The shooter is not the only one to blame- YOU signed the laws!!
$700,000 from the NRA
@@haoleboi5557 oh wow! No wonder he signed.
He shouldnt speak then.
It is not only the shooter's fault.
I'm going to move a different country! This country is not safe for my kids!!
I feel so sorry for these families. I don't understand how an 18 year old can just go out and buy guns? I guess being from Canada I will never understand that.
Its Texas….. you don’t even need a permit to purchase here. We have gun shows all the time.
I miss my Canada..might come back cause America ain’t what it use to be
Renny, this isn't about guns, because if it was about guns, we would have had these horrible events, in the 1970's, 1960's, 1950's, and before because it was much, much easier to buy a gun in those days, in comparison, to today. I will say that the biggest problem, is the way we are and have been raising our children for decades, we treat them like they almost walk on water and should they come in last place on anything, we still give them a pass, and just this one act, ill-prepares them for the world, once they are out in the world, they suddenly realize that they don't like it and forget out demanding responsibility from our kids, really?????
@@luisc1748 That is bs. In the 60s and 70s people weren't freaking out about the government coming to take their guns. Homicides were actually higher than today, and throughout the 60s and 70s, the majority of Americans were in favor of banning handguns entirely. The NRA used to promote background checks and may states had magazine limits.
@@luisc1748 Yet the United States would get the gold medal for mass shootings. Every country has mentally ill people and kids raised to expect a trophy for showing up.
How could you have class again where such a horrible act took place
😭😭can't read this without crying so sorry this has happen.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 from upstate NY... Never forgotten... ❤️May God. Comfort you all in this time of need.. 🙏❤️
26:27 ...WITHOUT A LICENSE??? GOODBYE GOV ABBOTT!!! 🤧🤧🤧 NO EXCUSE YOU COME UP WITH IS VALID AT ALL ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
No license, no 15~30 day background check, 18 years old w/ military weapon..? 🙄 ?
No one is in mourning. Quit lying. You'll go on with your life like it's nothing. To the next one. Then pretend again. You will only shed a tear if you lose your gun.
Lester has integrity and I love that. The town is complaining about how awful and attacking the media has been all day and we have Lester checking in and asking if they’re ok and making sure they’ve talked to the trauma therapists.
Xdww
Every time a child gets hurt or killed brings tears to my eyes they are the blessings that we have in our lives US army veteran James A Johnson

The governor could have prevented this
big business have too many politicians in their pocket. It's been like that for a long time.
I'm so disgusted every time Abbott opens his mouth.
How does this kid afford such weapons with no job or source of income they are not cheap to buy
I was wondering the same thing..
Credit cards
Wondering the same
So many children's lives are going to be lost.. cause nothing is ever going to change. 💔
How does someone with no job and no money spend 3500$ on guns? And where did he get the money to do so. 🙏 For those family's.
so sorry for the family who suffered at Robb elementary school😥😥😥😥
To the Governor, how about gun control! DO SOMETHING!!!
You should be ashamed of yourself, shame on you!
PRAY FOR CHANGE, ACTION TAKE ACTION ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
How the HECK did a highschool kid who (used to) work at Wendy's, get $2,000 for these rifles?
It's sad we can't trust our kids will be safe in school.
These are our kids, wake up and protect our children!!!
My heart and soul is broken for the mothers & fathers that have lost their babies. I can't imagine the pain they are in.
If I ever had to be interviewed by anyone I would want Lester Holt to do it because he's compassionate and he cares about ppl and not just the story.
I thought about the same thing after racist coworkers kept calling me the n word. I moved instead
I sued and won. I'm not like these youngsters today. I'ma 65 year old black man who lived in the south during Jim Crow. Say it to me you'll be attacked with whatever weapon I can find. And as for going to jail. Been there done that. Bet you won't say it to a black person's face keyboard Rambo.
These reporters have a tough assignment here
My heart goes out to those families who have lost their child’s life. I have children too and It hurts so much seeing them going through this. 😢😢

How and why did the officer allow him to enter the school in the firstplace,
I wish we could turn back time somehow. This is so disturbing
What the f*** are prayers going to do, how could you move forward without a direction... We are glaring your way and demanding a move in the right direction
It's a shame school's don't teach morals. Maybe people in this country should be mandatory to go to church.
You don’t need church to have morals! And we don’t need the self righteous mandating more of their beliefs on us. Maybe you should read your bible with a open heart instead of a closed mind. Beg your forgiveness, ask for enlightenment, and leave the judgement for GOD.
I WANT CHANGE TODAY!!!! NO MORE KILLINGS IM DONE ,,PLEASE STAND UP TO HELP PROTECT OUR CHILDREN !!!!
We need to focus on healing these parents. What can we do????
Focus on healing the parents
R.I.P. Uvalde Elementary School Students and Teachers 💐🙏💐
RIP 😭😭
I think all the media should leave the suspect's family alone--they live in the same neighborhood and they ain't want this happen to their neighbors. Definitely they cannot imagine the horror of losing a family member, but they already live in the guilty, although they didn't do anything wrong--how they gonna face their neighbors in future, how they gonna live there continuously???they cannot and they may leave and pay the price they are not supposed to pay. I am HEARTBROKEN because all these innocent children died from the cruelty of a coward, but the shooter's guilty doesn't qualify anyone to blame his innocent families. Really. if the public wants to blame someone to take out their anger, blame this country's law system, this country's president, this state's governor, and blame the society.
@Private Grotto this country, nobody can save its souls or future~~~~
The gunman allegedly was a bully and harmed animals and his family did not get him help nor did they alert authorities of his violent tendencies so that he wouldn't be allowed to purchase guns/rifles. I care more about the victim's families. The gunman's family should have done more to prevent this tragedy.
Wow!! Well Said!!!👏👏👏👏 TOTALLY AGREE 100%
It's definitely the price the suspect's family have to pay.
@@Heavenlyrules 我说的家人，指的是他grandpa一家。其实这就像有人过激选择了自杀，而有的人却选择了伤害别人。所以很难去评判。我只是觉得媒体做新闻，确实也要做到“杀人不过头点地”。就像台剧《我们与恶的距离》里，李大芝讲的那样，每个人的手上都沾着别人的“血”，而这里的血，无非是一个抽象的比喻，也是一个夸张的修饰
Here's a novel idea. Ban any gun purchases unless you are a legit law enforcement employee. And have psch evals for those people. No exceptions. And go after private gun dealers as well. Yeah,.people are going to say we're taking away their second amendment rights, but something needs to be done. And sooner, not later. My prayers to all involved in this horrible act.
Communist China would love to have you
totally illegal
@@scottheathco7323 it's only illegal because some guy said it was. Any law can be changed and many should be. We change laws all the time.
@@ILoveGrilledCheese it not a law..it's a right and you will never have the votes to take away the right to be armed
Every teacher around the United States needs to go on strike until something is done
Security check points for every school is a good start
I remember going to school without checkpoints, shootings, etc. Funny how no other country has this problem.
@@michaelraeder7702 lucky you?
.... it's an issue now.... less talk more action
He got through all the checkpoint at the school.
R.I.P. ทุกๆท่านที่เสียชีวิต
และขอแสดงความเสียใจ กับครอบครัวด้วยค่ะ จาก🇹🇭🇹🇭
Thank you
Sad...videogames, selling gun to teens, politicisns, violence TV. Divorces..etc...we are not going to change...are we?
My prayers goes out to all the families something got To be done
I don't think it's fair that I have to go to work during Armageddon.... for some reason I thought for Armageddon stuff would be free, but turns out everything sucks and you still have to go to work, so there's that
Texas needs to change these rules. This is not 1968 its 2022
How in the world did a 19 year still a baby was able to buy a high caliber gun? That doesn’t make sense, we need change!!!!
People do not sense the sanctity of life. I know the pain is unbearable as I still feel it after twenty one years. May their memories be eternal
Amen.0
This is so sad
there are more people shots in chicago...are u f&$&ng kidding me? have mercy Lord this sounds like a politician who does not care about his people.
Because he doesn’t.
No one should own guns. Period!
We need real Leaderships and please do something God bless this family’s 😥prying 🙌
God bless all the children's families
how was he able to enter the school without a security check?
Where the heck did he get $3500 with no home no education and no job…what the….
Wendy's, he actually worked and he did have a home (he lives with his grandma, the one he shot)
Hate to go all Syfy but possibly activated.
GOD BLESS BETO ..!
Why Congressmen and Congresswoman not question gun weapons manufacturers?
Why only happens in US like this
Yes sir, now is the time. Keep interrupting until change comes.
They took the Bible and prayer out of schools.
Mr. Resource officer has some explaining to do! A lot of explaining to do, he's not even the one who killed him. WTF you had one job to do!!!!!! what did he do when he heard the gun shots most likely he ran. Nobody is talking about that!!!!
Nobody wants to talks.. shameful
HOW...JUST HOW
CAN YOU DO THIS TO KIDS?
“School Shootings”… that’s it. That’s the craziest words out there.
God bless all the families
How did he pay for weapons etc.? Did he have a job?
The school resource officer who let him in without checking his backpack failed to do his job.
.Forget about just checking his backpack he had no business there at all. Should have been escorted off the campus. He isn't a parent and doesn't go to that elementary school.
No, your country's laws failed those kids! Leave the resource officer out of it.
@larzuga1 Yes that is a fact, but the bigger picture is, if the laws did not allow him (a clearly disturbed individual, and under age in my view) to purchase the weapons so easily, those innocent victims would still be alive!
We should not accept this anymore
Deeply sorry for school cildren.Make gun controol law be effitive.
Very ...very sad at this moment.RIP
RIP SMALL SOLDIERS
Can this be just another human who feels like commiting suicide by cop and seeks their best opportunity ? Might media bring attention seeking to these troubled teens?
You lot have way too many crises
The parents outside of the school did more then those cops!!!!!
$3,500 The 'SALES' was not going to pass this 18 year old and his Trust Fund savings🧐
Well the school in Texas where I live the teachers are armed and they have medal detectors at all entrances. People coming into a school building is searched like when you go through an airport.
Like in Japan and Finland right! Those countries use common sense.
@@BloodyApril yeah I guess so I don't know their practices.
@@BloodyApril I've been to Japan in the 80's. They have the same rules as the Philippines. No civilian can have a gun PERIOD. Guess what I got robbed in my home by a civilian with a gun. My point is you can take every one's guns but criminals will always find a way to get a gun.
@@tommywieringo6640 Yea but we don’t have to make it easy for criminals or the mentally ill to get guns. And that’s what the Republican Party has done, made it much to easy. If the schools safety officer, armed teachers and the first three responding officers couldn’t stop this boy from committing mass murder of these babies what is your schools metal detector going to do? That’s a Republican who is selling metal detectors solution. Raise the minimum age to buy guns. That would have saved the lives of all these children and teachers. Background checks for all guns sold by private or commercial sellers, could prevent you from from being robbed a second time.
Pray 🙏 pray pray. Everybody pray. We pray for you ... Pray. What is prayer going to do after kids are dead huh.. How about you stop letting people buy assault weapons huh
Pray for the Kids good bless the familys
God bless all
Who sold the rifles to him? an 18 year old buys two rifles and the seller doesnt alert police?
No? why?
Oh thats bc gun laws say anybody can obtain guns right?
Even when so many shootings been happening nobody can say nothing until something like this happen- then here comes governor feeling sorry for the victims. Will he do something to change guns laws? I dont think so.
Instead of making this about guns why don’t we address the problem of mental illness.
That ladies niece actually passed prayer for her and all the other parents and teachers family
Prayers don't work.
This is disheartening.
GOLDEN
May their souls rest in peace!
Background checks, age restrictions with minimum of 21years should be topmost. Any civilian buying guns should have a minimum of two referees standing in for them in case of any negative use of such weapon as this.
Assault guns shouldn,t be available period. Anywhere in America. Basket case of a nation.
@@BloodyApril ok Mr. Democrat calm your hoses now.
Your two reference requirements are a good idea.
@@tommywieringo6640 I am not a Democrat. I just want this violence to stop.
Why are you not reporting on the inaction of the cops? They waited 40 MINUTES before they went in.
I think they should have the entrance at public schools like the courthouse where they have metal detectors and security guards at the door
There needs to be a mass public reaction to the next NRA meeting to pressure them to make responsible decisions towards gun control at minimum stopping children at age 18 from owning assault rifles similar to handguns!
Just don't walk in and call a ar15 a assault rifle like you. Shows how uneducated you are and you loose credit. Assault rifles are full automatic military rifles already illegal to own without special paperwork and license.
An 18 yro is not a child, their called adults.
Let’s take God out of the classroom and introduced Satan which they have done in Florida with Satan coloring books. Now everybody prays after the fact, how about praying before like we used to in school.
Lock the outer doors to schools. Make people go through 3 doors to get inside. Put buttons to open and close all doors in the main office. If there is forced entry let strong alarms sound, calling police.
There's an easier solution that doesn't require prison style design for schools
@@ILoveGrilledCheese What is the solution then?
Gun violence is the single most tragic violation of human rights in America. There is no respect for human lives. May God comfort the families of the shooting victims.
I don't think there's gonna be change.. all talk but no bite. The people in charge of laws are lame..
Condolences to the victims' families.
Not ban gun , ban bullet!!!!!!
Congress and the president are to busy worrying about Ukraine
Whay are you upsad
I tihnk Putin he killed school children
Stop the madness . father please , in your holy name,starting with the law makers.Remove the power!!!!
Irma Garcias husband has had a fatal heart attack. Condolences to their 4 kids. 2 are under 18.
Why these schools have no security guards or police guard the schools
