He was wearing body armor and was equipped with at least one assault rifle.
He initially fled in a semi-truck, which was involved in a "spectacular traffic accident", before abandoning it and going to the primary school, apparently trying to escape from police officers.
For the students - no more than ten years old - and teachers at this school of about 500 children, the majority of them of Latin American origin, classes ended tomorrow, Thursday.
The young gunman was killed in the ensuing shootout with police officers. Two officers were slightly wounded, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said earlier.
According to Pete Arredondo, the police officer assigned to conduct the investigation, the teen acted alone. Petty Officer Estrada said he did not know if he was known to authorities. Authorities are still trying to gather information "about his profile," "his motives," "the types of weapons he used and whether he possessed them legally," according to Governor Abbott."
In any case, the massacre he committed has plunged the United States back into the ever-recurring nightmare of firearms attacks inside school buildings.
