Uvalde shooting: who were the 19 children and two teachers who died in Texas school?

The mass shooting of 19 children and two teachers at a school in Texas has shocked and horrified the world.

Details of the victims, who law enforcement have said were all in the same fourth grade classroom at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, have started to emerge.

The siege ended when a Border Patrol team burst in and fatally shot 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos.

The motive for the attack — the USA’s deadliest school shooting since Newtown, Connecticut, a decade ago — remained under investigation.

But who were the victims, and how old were they?
