Uvlade, Texas, is over in the Hill Country of Central Texas and is a lovely rolling hills area with interesting small towns. It's southwest of the town of Utopia, with San Antonio as the nearest large city. It's on people's radar as a town near a couple of nice state parks, and now, alas, it is on the map because of a horrible shooting. Again. Last week a grocery store in Buffalo, since then several shootings with smaller numbers of victims, and now, another elementary school shot up.

14 Students, 1 Teacher Dead in Texas School Shooting
Gov. Greg Abbott, who announced the death toll, said the gunman was also dead. It was the deadliest elementary school shooting since the 2012 massacre in Newtown, Conn.

Even without reading the article but seeing the name of the shooter, it fits the classic pattern - the shooter is brown or black, so he's dead. The shooting in Buffalo was white, so he's alive. The news will sort it out to see if this is true, or just a truism.

Texas is bleeding guns; they're everywhere and no permits are needed. It's the fault of those people who felt that more would be better somehow.
