Portrait of a killer: Call of Duty-loving shooter, 18, was bullied at school for being poor, creeped out his Wendy's female co-workers, and lived with his grandmother who he shot at START of rampage after row over not graduating

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.

Why do they keep on saying this is the second highest death toll from shooting and 21?

Lubys in 1991 was 23

Be careful what you ask for. If Biden gets his mental health act, most of the readers of this forum would be institutionalized. Probably no more than 10% need it.

Here's a question nobody has asked:

If he lived with Grandma and Mom was a drug addict, and his neighborhood was one where most people were below the poverty line....

HOW DID HE AFFORD TO BUY TWO AR-15s ON HIS 18th BIRTHDAY!!

Did someone furnish him with those? Was it a member of an agency with three letters?

Not one word about that at all. Just calls to ban pretty much everything.

Agree. The deinstitutionalization movement has gone too far. It has also contributed to the homeless problem.

Sure does seem like these mass shooters are coming right out of central casting.

Where from does the Daily Mail in the UK get their information? Do they have hundreds or more “reporters” in the US that provide it to them?

How is this related to White Supremacy? Sounds more like the result of serious Mental Manipulation of the Weak-Minded through policies of Demonrats glorifying the LGBT-QWERTY life style where everything is rainbows, skittles and unicorn poop.
I really hate what Demoncrats are doing to weak minded people in this country.
