Salvador Ramos

Salvador Ramos' reign of terror inside a Texas elementary school lasted as long as an hour before he was shot dead.

“They breached the classroom door. They went in, engaged Ramos and killed him at the scene,” he said, confirming that the fatal shot was fired by one of the border agents who has been hailed a “hero.” Somehow, Ramos was able to get inside the school as the officer “followed him in immediately” and then gunfire was exchanged, McCraw said. Then came the cryptic posts on social media. At a back door on the west side of the school building, Ramos was confronted by a school resource officer — though McCraw said “gunfire was not exchanged.” The elderly woman “was able to run across the street to a neighbor and get help,” McCraw said.

Ramos was killed by the police, while his grandmother is in the hospital -- in critical condition. Had he known about those, he would have reported the weapons to the authorities.

Gov Greg Abbott said Tuesday that Ramos sent Facebook messages threatening to shoot both his grandmother and an elementary school.

A classmate of Ramos’ said that the alleged shooter had stopped attending classes regularly and has been described by a number of community members as a young man who mainly kept to himself and had a quiet social life.

Mr Garcia said he would try to stick up for Ramos, who was also picked on for having a stutter and a strong lisp, but that “he just started being a different person” and “kept getting worse and worse, and I don’t even know”.

Salvador Ramos sent three messages on Facebook in the run-up to the attack warning that he was about to embark on a shooting.

The school has 574 students enrolled, according to public listings, 90 per cent of whom are Hispanic, and 87 per cent of whom were deemed economically disadvantaged. He then drove to Robb Elementary School and crashed outside, before running into the school building via a back door. Its pupils are in second to fourth grades – usually between the ages of 7 and 10. Becky Flores, 54, who lived next door to Ramos’ mother, said it was a tumultuous home. His grandmother remains in critical condition, Texas Department of Public Safety sergeant Erick Estrada said. He had no known history of mental health issues.

According to the governor, Ramos posted that he was going to shoot his grandmother, then that he had shot the woman, and finally that he was going to shoot an elementary school. About 30 minutes before the shooting, Ramos sent three social media messages. “I’m going to shoot an elementary school” he wrote in a Facebook message 15 minutes before he barricaded himself inside a classroom and fired indiscriminately, officials said.

His son murdered 21 people at an elementary school in Uvalde in the latest explosion of mass gun violence in America.

Ramos said his son frequently complained about his maternal grandmother, who was in the hospital recovering from her injuries this week. “I don’t think he was necessarily bullied,” the classmate, Nadia Reyes, told the paper. For his own part, the father has a lengthy criminal record which includes at least one conviction for assault and causing bodily injury to a family member. He added that his son grew frustrated with the COVID precautions about a month ago and refused to speak to him. His father admitted he had not spent much time with him lately because he was employed outside Uvalde—he digs holes around utility poles for inspection—and because of the pandemic. Former classmates and families confirmed that the younger Ramos had been bullied in middle school for a speech impediment. Ramos also faulted the boy’s mother, Adriana Reyes, for not buying him more school supplies and clothes. In a panic, he started calling the local jail, asking them if his son was there. The Daily Beast spoke with Ramos on the porch of his girlfriend’s home east of Uvalde, where he has been living for several years. One student recalled him telling the children in the classroom: “It’s time to die.” His son, also called Salvador, shot his grandmother in the face on Tuesday and drove away with her car, before running the truck into a ditch outside Robb Elementary and opening fire on a fourth-grade classroom. “I said, ‘Mijo, one day somebody’s going to kick your ass,’” Ramos recalled.
