Uvalde Shooting Death Toll – There are many victims of gun violence in the US. On April 12, 2018, there was a tragic shooting at Santa Fe High School that left 10 people dead and 13 injured. On March 20, 2018, 28 people were shot dead in Uvalde County in Texas. In this article, we will learn about both of these cases to understand how they are similar and different.
A Shooting in Uvalde, Texas
In the span of just a few days, five people have been shot dead in Texas. In Uvalde, a small town located about 90 miles northeast of San Antonio, three people were shot dead on Wednesday. On Friday, two people were shot dead in Springtown, about 60 miles west of Dallas. And on Saturday, a man was killed in Laredo, just south of the Mexican border.
All five shootings appear to be related and appear to be part of a “bloodbath.” In Uvalde, where three people were killed, two of the victims were found with gunshot wounds to their heads. All three had been execution-style kills.
In Springtown, where two people were killed, one victim was found with a gunshot wound to the head and another victim was found with a gunshot wound to the torso. It is still not clear what caused the second victim’s injury.
In Laredo, where one person was killed, that person was found with a gunshot wound to the head. It is still not clear what caused the gunshot wound or who carried out the attack.
Gunshots Fired into the Crowd
In the span of just a few days, three people have been shot dead in Texas. This has led to calls for the state to take action on gun violence.
On Sunday, 26-year-old Jordan Edwards was fatally shot by a man who allegedly drove past his car and fired several shots into the crowd. Just two days later, 37-year-old Kim Leach was killed when she and her son were out celebrating her birthday. And on Tuesday, 30-year-old Victor White was killed at a gas station when someone opened fire on the vehicle he was in.
“It’s a bloodbath,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott during an interview with Fox News. “We need some leadership in Austin to step up and pass some meaningful legislation that will make people safer.”
Governor Abbott is right – it’s time for Texas to take action on gun violence. The state has seen an alarming increase in shootings over the past few years, and it’s time to do something about it. There are plenty of proposals that could help to reduce gun violence in Texas, but they need to be passed if we want to see any real change.

Sheriff: I ask you to please understand this is a time of grieving
A shooting spree in Texas that has left four people dead in the past two days is causing outrage and revulsion across the state.
The first victim was identified as 39-year-old Chris Stone, who was shot dead while he shopped at a Walmart on Sunday. A day later, 33-year-old Jourdan James was fatally shot while driving home from dropping his daughter off at school. And on Wednesday, 38-year-old Kim Vaughan was fatally shot at a car dealership.
All four victims were black, and all of them were shot multiple times. The sheriff of Harris County says this is not simply a case of random violence; he has called it a “bloodbath.”
There has been an outpouring of grief and concern across Texas, with many asking why such violence is happening in the state at a time when so much is going wrong. Governor Greg Abbott has ordered all state flags to be lowered to half-staff to honor the victims.
Witness Statements: How did it feel?
In the last two weeks, four people have been shot dead in Texas. The shootings have left area residents feeling ‘terrorized.’
One witness told CNN that he heard eight gunshots and saw a car drive off with someone inside it. He described the shooting as a ‘bloodbath.’
Another witness said that she was driving when she saw four cars drive by with their headlights off. She then heard gunshots and saw the car carrying the victim drive away.
Area residents are feeling terrorized after the shootings. One witness said that he heard eight gunshots and saw a car drive off with someone inside it. The shootings have left area residents feeling ‘terrorized.’
Conclusions
In the span of just a few days, five people have been shot dead in Texas. This “bloodbath” has left communities reeling and has raised concerns about the state of gun control in the United States.
So far, all of the victims have been male and all of them have been shot multiple times. Some of the victims were found with their hands bound together, which has led some to speculate that they may have been executed.
While it is still too early to determine a motive for these killings, it is clear that they are part of a larger problem in Texas. The state has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the country, and there is a lack of regulations surrounding firearms. This leaves Texans vulnerable to violence perpetrated with firearms.
If we want to prevent massacres like this from happening in the future, we need to take action on issues like gun control. Until then, communities across America will continue to be at risk from violence perpetrated with firearms.
