Two boys and four girls have been identified as among 19 students shot dead in a Texas school.

18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos, marched into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and opened fire, killing 19 students and two teachers.

Before going to the school to carry out the shootings, he shot his grandmother at home. She remains in hospital.

The shooter is understood to have been shot by police.

Some of the victims of the shooting have now been identified as their loved ones share their photos to mourn them.

Ten-year-old student Xavier Lopez was one of the first victims to be named, and was identified by his heartbroken family.

His mother had reportedly attended an awards ceremony for him at the school only hours before the shooting, not knowing this was the last time she would ever see her young child.
