The gunman, whose rampage ended when police killed him, also had sent a message on Tuesday saying he was going to shoot his grandmother, followed by another internet post confirming he had done so, Abbott said at a news conference.
The suspect's grandmother, shot in the face before her grandson left the home they shared and attacked the school, survived and called police.
The gunman, identified as Salvador Ramos, 18, otherwise gave no warning he was about to commit what now ranks as the deadliest U.S. school shooting in nearly a decade, authorities said.
Fleeing the shooting of his grandmother, he crashed his car near Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, about 80 miles (130 km) west of San Antonio, then managed to evade a school police officer who approached him before running inside.
No gunfire was exchanged at that point, according to police. But authorities offered few details of the encounter, likely to become a focus of investigations, except to say that the suspect dropped a bag full of ammunition and ran toward the school when he saw the officer.
Ramos then entered the school through a back door carrying an AR-15-style rifle and made his way to a fourth-grade classroom where he shot all of the people who were slain. Authorities said he had legally purchased two rifles and 375 rounds of ammunition days before the shooting.
Meanwhile, police surrounded the building, breaking windows to help children and staff escape. U.S. Border Patrol agents also responded and entered the building to confront the shooter, with one agent wounded "in the crossfire," homeland security officials said.
Eventually, Ramos, a high school dropout with no known criminal record or history of mental illness, was shot dead by law enforcement. 导读：德克萨斯州州长Greg Abbott周三表示，杀害了19名儿童和两名教师的枪手在行凶前几分钟c曾在网上发布了一条信息，警告他将向一所小学开枪。持枪者已被证实为18岁的Salvador Ramos,高中辍学，没有犯罪记录，也没有精神疾病史，犯下现在被列为美国近十年来最致命的校园枪击案，他最终被警方击毙。阅读时注意定语、宾语从句以及动词不定式等语法知识点的运用。 2 Health officials worldwide have turned their attention to a new outbreak of monkeypox, a virus normally found in central and west Africa that has appeared across Europe and the U.S. in recent weeks — even in people who have not traveled to Africa at all. But experts say that, while it's important for public health officials to be on the lookout for monkeypox, the virus is extremely unlikely to spin out into an uncontrolled worldwide pandemic in the same way that COVID-19 did. "Let's just say right off the top that monkeypox and COVID are not the same disease," said Dr. Rosamund Lewis, head of Smallpox Secretariat at the World Health Organization, at a public Q&A session on Monday. 导读：世界各地的卫生官员已经将注意力转向新一轮爆发的猴痘病毒。这种病毒通常在中非和西非发现，最近几周在欧洲和美国出现，甚至出现在根本没有去过非洲的人身上。阅读时注意定语、宾语从句等语法知识点的运用。 最后想说的是，时间不会辜负所有的努力，继续坚持下去，你想要的惊喜终将会如期而至。
