In yet another tragic mass shooting, Salvador Ramos, 18, slaughtered 19 innocent children and two much-loved teachers at Robb Elementary school, in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday before being killed in a shoot out with a Border Patrol officer and local law enforcement.
It is the second deadliest shooting in US history after the infamous Sandy Hook massacre in 2012 - which saw 26 people killed - and has once again left people asking how someone could commit such a heinous crime.
As the country tries to make sense of the tragedy, stories about Ramos are beginning to emerge from those who knew him best, painting the picture of loner with a propensity for self-harm and violence, who was from an unstable home, including an alleged drug-using mother.
Texas State Senator Roland Gutierrez said in a local television interview that the school shooter was born in North Dakota, but attended high school in Uvalde.
Neighbors and classmates say his behavior spiraled into the bizarre and macabre as he entered his later teenage years, with one friend telling Good Morning America: 'He had scars on his face and someone asked him, 'Are you ok?' and he just said with a smile 'I did it myself, I liked how it looked.'
He began dressing in dark clothes and military boots and used his BB gun to target random people, one local claimed.
There are around 15,000 residents in Uvalde which sits roughly 80 miles west of San Antonio, around an hour's drive from the US-Mexico border.
The would-be mass murderer lived with his grandmother on Hood Street, less than three miles from the Robb Elementary school.
More than one-third of residents in the city live at or barely above the federal poverty line.

Again,. I just want to see you walking in his shoes.
There’s an all-out effort to kill the notion of a trans angle to this story dead.
DuckDuckGo is in on it.
Is it real?
Breakdown of the family. Almost all our social ills point back to this. Also, this is why the family is under so much attack (e.g., LGBTQ agenda, abortion, etc.).
“He shouldn’t have been in a public school, just like the kid in Florida.”
Here’s a thought: what if he went to public school and got left alone like he has a right to be left alone?
The cop chase bit turned out to be a 100% false aspect of a preferred narrative when it came to the SUV that drove itself into the Christmas parade in Wisconsin.
Wouldn’t be surprised to hear that there not only wasn’t a cop chade, but there wasn’t a police officer within a country mile when this freak drove his vehicle into the ditch near the school.
You have the first post that mentions mother. Wonder how long before father is mentioned?
or maybe the worlds oldest profession
Where is dad?
He may have two grandmothers in two different locations.
Doesn’t make sense for him to drive into a ditch if he was headed over to kill kids.
That was in school. He’d apparently worked at Wendy’s for a year while living at either home or grandparent’s place.
As for the pickup, it appears not to have been his, as it is also reported that he did not have a license or know how to drive. Ending up with two busted axles after going off the road over a drainage culvert supports that last.
Great question. I don’t understand why mass shootings always seem to increase as election time approaches.
His grandfather said he didn’t have a driver’s license and didn’t know where he got money to buy 2 rifles, but has a pretty new pick up truck ?
Evil Shoes?
You, sir, are noticing the things that are not for noticing.
Apparently that was a 4chan prank. I fell for it as well.
We seem to be normalizing mental illness as if that will cure it.
Again, I side with the Victims, not the aggressor.
After he shot his grandmother he probably grabbed her keys and took off in her truck.
It sounded like he was staying with the grandmother.
