On May 24, 2022, a mass shooting occurred at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. 18-year-old Salvador Ramos fatally shot nineteen students and two teachers, and wounded seventeen others. Earlier, he shot his grandmother in the face.
The killer shut himself inside two adjoining classrooms without locking the classroom door, killed the victims, and remained in the school for more than an hour before the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) fatally shot him.
Police officers waited 74 minutes on-site before breaching the classroom to engage the killer. Police also cordoned off the school grounds, resulting in violent conflicts between police and parents who were attempting to enter the school to rescue children. Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (UCISD) police chief Pedro Arredondo was identified as the incident commander. Arredondo refuted the characterization of his role as incident commander, but was later fired by the Uvalde school board for his actions during the shooting.
The senator was driving down
A Kentucky country road
Feeling very powerful
For an 80 year old
He came to a fork in the road
The sign said "KIDS OR KILLERS"
He did not know which way to go
So he slowed down to consider
Kids or killers
Children or guns
Life or death
Common sense or craziness
What will he do?
Who will he choose?
How about you?
We got a lot to lose
Help the kids and hurt the killers
I hope that's what Mitch will do
Help the kids and hurt the killers
That's what we will do
Kids or killers
Children or guns
Life or death
Common sense or craziness
