Texas Shooting Weapons Used: What type of gun was used in Texas school shooting?

Rolando Ramos, the 18-year-old who attacked Robb Elementary School on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, used two “military-style weapons” he bought for his birthday and maybe a handgun.

According to Texas Senator Roland Gutierrez, buying firearms “was the first thing he did on his 18th birthday.” Law enforcement officials informed CBS News that Salvador Ramos had a handgun and an AR-15 style weapon.

The possible shooter’s Instagram account was taken down. The user had uploaded photographs of guns and followed other pupils at the suspect’s school, according to the profile, which hasn’t been validated officially by officials.

The shooting is the deadliest at a Texas school and the second deadliest attack on a K-12 school in America, with at least 19 kids and two adults killed. According to Gov. Greg Abbott, Ramos attacked the school in Uvalde, a mainly Latino town about an hour and a half west of San Antonio, and was killed by law enforcement.
