During the massacre at the Uvalde school, 19 children and 2 adults died at the hands of Salvador Ramos, an 18-year-old young man who opened fire after attacking her grandmother and leaving her seriously injured.

According to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan based on CDC data with figures from 2020, 45,222 people died that year in armed incidents, of which 4,300 were under 19 years of age.
