Texas school shooting: Suspect's grandmother upgraded to good condition
Twenty-one were killed and 17 were injured in last week's mass shooting.
A small town in rural Texas was left reeling after a gunman opened fire at an elementary school, killing 19 children.
Two teachers were also killed in the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, according to authorities.
The alleged gunman -- identified by authorities as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, a student at Uvalde High School -- was killed by law enforcement at the scene.
The suspect allegedly shot and injured his grandmother before opening fire at the school, officials said.

Biden, first lady arrive in Uvalde
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have arrived in Uvalde, Texas, Sunday morning and plan to meet with loved ones of 19 students and two teachers killed in Tuesday's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.
The Bidens arrived at Uvalde's Garner Field on Marine One just before noon after flying on Air Force One at Kelly Field in San Antonio earlier Sunday.
The Bidens were met on the tarmac at Garner Field by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin and other local dignitaries.
The White House said the president and first lady intend "to grieve with the community that lost twenty-one lives in the horrific elementary school shooting."

Senators hold bipartisan negotiations on federal gun legislation
Some Democrat and Republican senators are negotiating through the Memorial Day weekend in an attempt to find "common ground" on potential federal gun laws intended to prevent massacres like the one at a Uvalde, Texas, school, according to Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy.
"There are serious negotiations and we are going to continue to meet through early next week to try to find some common ground," Murphy, a Democrat, told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday.
Murphy said negotiations with Republican senators have included discussions of "red flag" laws, expansion of the federal background check system, safe storage, mental health resources and increased security funding for schools.
"What we're talking about is not insignificant," Murphy said.
He said the goal is to come up with a package "that really in the end could have a significant downward pressure on gun violence in this country and break the logjam."
"Maybe that's the most important thing we could do is just show that progress is possible and that the sky doesn't fall for Republicans if it supports some of these common sense measures," Murphy said.
Murphy, who took up the cause of combatting gun violence a decade ago following the deadly 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, said he is hearing from more Republicans than ever agreeing on the need for new federal gun legislation, or to bolster laws on the books now.
Republican Rep Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., told Karl that "raising the age of gun purchase to 21 is a no brainer."
"If you look at the Parkland shooting, you look at Buffalo, you look at this shooting, these are people under the age of 21," Kinzinger said. "We know that the human brain develops and matures a lot between the age of 18 and 21. We just raised -- without really so much as a blink -- the age of purchasing cigarettes federally to 21."
Investigators still determining what led shooter to attack: Sources
Investigators have yet to find a specific triggering event that led the gunman to attack on Tuesday, or why he selected Robb Elementary School as the target, according to law enforcement sources.
Texas Department of Public Safety director Col. Steven McCraw also said Friday that a motive has not yet been determined.
A particular focus for the FBI is assisting Texas detectives in analyzing Ramos’ online communications and anything they could find that was left on his devices, the sources said.
McCraw said investigators plan to track down people with whom Ramos communicated online.
The FBI has deployed some 200 hundred personnel to Uvalde, including computer and cell phone analysts and digital forensic experts, in addition to providing remote support.

Bidens attend Mass in Uvalde
As President Joe Biden left Mass at a Catholic Church in Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday afternoon, he walked over to a crowed of people outside chanting, "Do something."
Biden looked at the crowd and mouthed the words, "We will."
Biden and first lady Jill Biden attended Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. As they entered the sanctuary, Jill Biden reached out and lightly touched the hands of several people seated along the aisle as she and the president made their way to their seat in the first-row pew.
About 600 people attended the service.
The president and first lady were greeted at the church by Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller, according to the White House.
“In the midst of collapse and devastation, we have come once more to this our house. To pray. And to be together," one of the service leaders said as the Mass got underway.
Garcia-Siller invited children to come to the front of the church and sit.
"They passed away. But you are alive," the archbishop told the children, referring to the 19 students and two teachers killed in the attack at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday.
Garcia-Siller told the children that he believes they will help the community heal. He noted how Jesus died and “rose from the dead," and then went to heaven.
“He prepared a place for the 19 little ones we lost,” the archbishop said.
The archbishop said he has experienced the goodness of people in the wake of the horrific tragedy. He reflected on Jesus’ message of peace, saying, Jesus felt fear and pain, but did not become bitter.
Garcia-Siller spoke of the joy of heaven.
“Our children in Uvalde who left us already join in this joy," he said. “Heaven is open for all."
