An 18-year-old gunman shot dead 14 children and a teacher at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday, the state's governor confirmed.

The assailant "shot and killed, horrifically and incomprehensibly, 14 students and killed a teacher," Texas Governor Greg Abbott told a news conference.

Abbott said the shooter had a handgun and possibly a rifle.

He also mentioned that the shooting suspect, a local teenager, was also "deceased", adding that "it is believed that responding officers killed him."
