At least 14 children and a teacher have been killed in a gun attack at a Texas elementary school.

The attacker was also dead, said Texas governor Greg Abbott at a press conference.

The 18-year-old suspect, who was armed with a handgun and a rifle, was believed to have been shot dead by police officers.

"He shot and killed 14 students and one teacher in a horrific manner," Governor Abbott said.

“The shooter himself died and officers at the scene are believed to have killed him.”

The attack happened at an elementary school in the small town of Uvalde, 135 kilometers west of San Antonio.

Fatal gun attacks are a regular occurrence in the United States.

Schools are also often affected.

Primary school has 600 students

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District said Robb Elementary School has nearly 600 students.

Earlier, the county said all schools in the county were closed due to gunfire in the area.

Just over a week ago, a gunman with an assault rifle opened fire in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing 13 people.

The 18-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene.

According to investigators, the act was racially motivated – 11 of the 13 victims were black.
