Location : 715 Old Carrizo Rd

Agency : Uvalde Police Department; Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department; Texas Department of Public Safety; U.S. Border Patrol

Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during school shooting response
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 05/24/2022, law enforcement responded to Robb Elementary School at 715 Old Carrizo Road after Salvador Rolando Ramos, 18, entered the campus armed with a rifle and began shooting inside connected fourth-grade classrooms. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed. Officers from Uvalde CISD Police initially entered the building and retreated after gunfire. Multiple agencies, including Texas DPS and U.S. Border Patrol tactical agents, responded and remained in the hallway for more than an hour while students and teachers were trapped inside. A U.S. Border Patrol BORTAC team ultimately breached the classroom door and opened fire, killing Ramos. Subsequent state and federal reviews sharply criticized the delayed law enforcement response, command failures, and breakdown in communication. Body camera footage and hallway surveillance video were later released, and investigations documented systemic leadership and tactical failures during the incident.
