Deadly shooting at a Texas elementary school

At least 14 students and one teacher are dead after a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday.

The 18-year-old suspect, who is also dead, was a student at Uvalde High School, according to Abbott.

The governor said the suspect also allegedly shot his grandmother before entering school premises, but did not give any details about her condition.

In the wake of the deadly mass shooting, many parents are left grappling with how to explain the horrific act of gun violence -- at a setting where most kids spend a majority of their days -- to their children and teens.

"For the majority of teenagers, school is a safe and supporting environment," Dr. Robin Gurwitch, a licensed clinical psychologist and professor at Duke University Medical Center, told ABC News in 2018, after 17 people, including students, were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
