The White House said President Biden was briefed on the shooting and provided assistance to local officials.
“It’s a tragedy beyond words,” said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican who signed legislation to ease gun control in the wake of past mass shootings in a written statement.
According to the nonprofit Archive of Gun Violence, there have been at least 198 mass shootings this year, the most since 2016.
The organization defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are killed or injured, not including the shooter.
