they were aged around 10 years old. the families are paying tribute in the deep shot and sadns to their cherished job and, tragically taken away -- children and taken away. the gunman shot his own grandmother, drove to the school and carried out the atrocity that once again has americans questioning gun law. carrying automatic rifles, 18-year-old salvador ramos was dead -- shot dead at the scene. >> the gunman was 18 years old. reportedly a high school dropout. reportedly, there has been no criminal history identified yet. he may have had a juvenile record. but that is yet to be determined. there was no known mental health history. of the gunman. mark: let's go straight to our correspondent who was in texas

with the latest. you're at the scene and it is a fraud situation. tell us what you can. reporter: well, this is a situation where an 18-year-old kid, high school dropout, who played a lot of video games, had a lot of personal and family problems went to a school. it is unclear why he went into this particular school, and elementary school, the horrific crimes we just heard about, the biggest question right now is why? for the moment, people are struggling with the idea that this even happened. it is a weight on the small town of uvalde. the details are coming to slow. there's too much pain. and it is going to be a long process before anything gets processed in any way. mark: we heard from the police are piecing things together at the scene.

going back into the gunman's habits and looking at his lifestyle, you have outlined a number of problem areas there. i'm wondering about the families. these people who lost their children. aged around 10 years old, all from the same class, shocked, heartbroken. it does not explain what they are feeling just 24 hours afterwards. reporter: put yourself in the skin of these parents, they drop their kids off at school. this one father who posted on facebook about his daughter who was about to graduate and the top student in the class, she was valedictorian. when the gunman went into the classroom, she responded in a remarkably mature way. she tried to call 911, to get help. he shot her, because she was doing that.

the blood splattered on her best friend was next to her. as these stories are coming out, for the parents it is absolutely wrenching. it is wrenching for parents across the country. i came out from the west coast. i know people are sobbing as the details are coming out. my own children, at their school, security has been ramped up in a big way. i know police are active everywhere. it's one of those things that should experience to the core across the country. mark: it is incredibly shocking. you relating that story, it really does cut straight to the heart of everybody who was watching, wherever they are in the world. eric, in terms of motive, there is no speculation from the police. in other shootings there has been a racial motive. in this when it does not seem to be the case. a young man of latino origins, most of the victims from similar kind of stock?

reporter: this is a town with a substantial latino population. the kids have a range of backgrounds, a good number of the children are latino. that does not seem to be a part of this. but there are so many mysteries in terms of motive. there is social media that is being traced in different ways, facebook message being -- messaging is being traced. it is going to be a little bit of time. there does not seem to be a note that lays out, here's why i'm going to commit such unspeakable crimes. there was premeditation. there were clear plans, he wrote a note to a friend saying that he had planned to do something, that turned out to be this. but the motives, i think it is going to take time before he comes clear. mark: it is inevitable, things are being pieced together with social media. how do people feel about guns? is this changing people's view of things?

reporter: this is a question that comes up every time there is a new horrific large-scale act of mass gun violence in the u.s. every time there is momentum and people saying we need to do something, joe biden, the president is supposed to come in a few days. he said something has to be done, how long can america continue to live with this violence? he knows as well as anyone because he was vice president when the sandy hook massacre happened, it seemed like there was a lot of momentum 15 and six-year-olds were massacred at their school -- five and six-year-olds were massacred at their schools. to overcome the lobbying power of the national rifle association and it was chipped away, bit by bit until nothing happened. we will see. these are wake-up calls. do they change people's minds? i think they make a lot of americans stick even more strongly with what they already

believe. if you believe you need to arm the teacher and the teacher is going to be like a hollywood a superhero and save the kids, you probably believe that even more. if you believe guns are the problem you believe that even more. if you believe this is a mental health problem, you believe that even more now, as a governor of texas put forward. the fact is, as we know and viewers know, these sorts of things do not happen often in other countries where there is plenty of mental illness. guns are special element here. will there be an action that actually brings this change? we are just going to have to wait and find out. mark: thank you, very much for bringing that analysis. we will be crossing back to eric for any develop and start this program. the texas school shooting is sadly the latest in a long list of shooting atrocities in the united rates, for second amendment rights -- united
