Nineteen children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday by a shooter who bought two assault rifles and a lot of bullets for his 18th birthday last week.

McConnell said there could be some room to negotiate on gun reform, and he tapped Cornyn to lead the effort for the Republican side. The Senate will be back on June 6.
