Texas School Shooting Victims—Full List of Teachers and Students Killed

A mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday, has become the deadliest school shooting since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, when Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people.

Officials have said that at least 19 children were killed at Robb Elementary School, as well as at least two teachers. The death toll may rise as some parents have not been able to locate their children following the shooting.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott initially confirmed that 15 were dead after the shooter, Salvador Ramos, entered the school with a handgun and rifle early Tuesday afternoon. Texas state police later updated the death toll to 21. Abbott stated that the shooter is believed to be deceased as well.

Here is the full list of victims' names so far disclosed. More may be added as further information is released by authorities.

Eva Mireles was a fourth-grade teacher and had worked in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District for 17 years. She was a wife and mother with three pets and loved running and hiking, according to the Robb Elementary website.

Her aunt Lydia Martinez Delgado released a statement condemning the shooting, according to a KABC-TV report.

"I'm furious that these shootings continue. These children are innocent," she said in the statement.

"Rifles should not be easily available to all. This is my hometown, a small community of less than 20,000. I never imagined this would happen to especially loved ones."

Irma Garcia was the other teacher named as a victim in the shooting, according to a Sky News report.
