The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed that 18 children were killed. According to the Associated Press, Texas state Senator Roland Gutierrez confirmed three adults died.

The man was also dead.

A man shot and killed 10 people and injured three more in a shooting at a Tops Friendly Markets store in a largely Black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York, earlier this month.

The suspect told authorities he was targeting the Black community, according to CNN.

One man was killed and five others were wounded at a Taiwanese church service in Orange County, California, according to CNN.

James pointed out that children are supposed to be the safest at school because of how involved he is with education off the court.

The I PROMISE School in Akron, Ohio, is dedicated to those students who are already falling behind and in danger of falling through the cracks, according to the website of the LeBron James Family Foundation.

Thousands of people signed a petition for James to be the Secretary of Education in the United States.
