🎙️🎙️🎙️ Y'all, pull up a seat because I've got an extraordinary tale for you. It starts in 1981 in Harris County, when a dog walked out of the woods, a human arm in its jaws -- and ended this week, 42 years later, with a grandma reuniting with a girl she feared had died. 🎙️🎙️🎙️
After that grisly discovery, police spent days searching and finally found two mangled corpses, a young man and woman with "beautiful teeth." But try as they might, they couldn't ID the couple. ... until earlier this year.

The bodies belonged a man named Harold Dean Clouse and a woman named Tina Gail Linn -- a couple from Florida. But more on that in a second. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

At @GregAbbott_TX's presser presently.

"Families are broken apart, hearts are forever shattered
all Texans are grieving with the people of Uvalde, and people are rightfully angry about what has happened," he said. Events like this they tear at the fabric of a community...."

It's been an incredibly grim day, and today will be one as well. A brief thread about what we know so far.
At 11:32 a.m. this AM, police in the south Texas town of Uvalde got a call about a man who'd crashed his car into Robb Elementary School and who had a gun.
He would go on to kill 21 people.
