ALLISON DINNER/AFP via Getty Images RELALTED: Texas School Shooting: What We Know About the Victims Uvalde is a small city about 85 miles west of San Antonio. During the violence on Tuesday, the gunman barricaded himself inside an elementary school classroom, according to officials. All of the victims — those dead and injured — were found in that room. The children killed were in the second, third and fourth grades, police confirmed. For more on the shooting massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, listen below to our daily podcast PEOPLE Every Day. Before entering the school, the killer crashed his car in a nearby ditch. He was then able to enter the building. Authorities have said that, prior to traveling to the school, the shooter shot his grandmother in the face. The woman survived her injuries, and managed to make it to the home of a neighbor, who called 911. It is believed police killed the suspect. A motive for the murders, if known, has not been released. Police also said at a Tuesday press conference that they believe the shooter acted alone. Juan Alvarez, the man who has been dating Reyes for just over a year, previously told NBC News that the shooter was a loner who had moved in with his grandparents two months ago following an intense argument with his mother. 2 Sets of Cousins Were Killed in Texas School Shooting: 'May Your Passing Not Be in Vain' Alvarez, 62, said the fight that led the shooter to move out centered on Wi-Fi, and his mother's decision to disconnect it. He added that the shooter had a tumultuous relationship with his mom, and that the two argued often. "He was kind of a weird one," said Alvarez, noting the shooter, who was killed by a responding off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent, had been acting aloof as of late.
