Texas school shooting live news: Biden calls for US action

• At least 19 children and two adults have been killed after a gunman opened fire in a Texas primary school.
• The attack was at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a small community in the south of the state, just a few days before the end of the school year.
• The gunman, identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was shot dead by police.
• US President Joe Biden has told Americans it is time to take on the gun lobby.

Manny Renfro told The Associated Press that his grandson, eight-year-old Uziyah Garcia, was among those killed in the shooting.

“The sweetest little boy that I’ve ever known”, Renfro said. “I’m not just saying that because he was my grandkid”.

Renfro said Uziyah last visited him in San Angelo during spring break.

“We started throwing the football together and I was teaching him pass patterns. Such a fast little boy and he could catch a ball so good”, Renfro said. “There were certain plays that I would call that he would remember and he would do it exactly like we practised”.

US President Biden is back in the US after his visit to South Korea and Japan.

He is due to address the country at 8:15pm (00:15 GMT).

Biden has already ordered flags to be flown at half-staff until sunset every day until May 28 in response to the tragedy.
