UVALDE, Texas (AP) -- The death toll from the shooting at a Texas elementary school has risen to 18 children, two adults, and the gunman.

State Sen. Roland Gutierrez said he was briefed by state police on the latest fatalities at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a heavily Latino community.

It was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. grade school since the shocking attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago.

Three people wounded in the attack are hospitalized in serious condition.

Officials have not revealed a motive for the shooting, but Gov. Greg Abbott identified him as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos. He says Ramos was a resident of the town about 85 miles west of San Antonio.
