Doors will open first for teachers and staff beginning at 8 a.m. and then will be made available for the public starting at 10 a.m.

On Tuesday, an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary, killing at least 19 children before he was finally killed by law enforcement.

The death toll also included two adults and Gov. Greg Abbott said one of the two was a teacher.

Hours after the attack, families were still awaiting word on their children.
