There will need to be a lot of corrections if the KHOU 11 report holds up:
A gunman wearing body armor and carrying a rifle killed at least 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school on Tuesday, authorities said. It was the deadliest mass shooting to unfold at an American school in nearly a decade.
