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.

Nonsense. Sometimes maybe but it’s not the rule. As many as 1 in 10 people have psycopathy or worse.

Because we have no real mental health policies they must be marginalized. Politicians and the courts are directly responsible.

It’s the only viable option since the ACLU sued and got all Funny Farms closed when Regan was in office.

I'm convinced these are orchestrated events by certain three-letter agencies.

I met a Freeper who is aware of, and had training in, orchestrating these events in foreign countries.

And he even explained how.

well, they sh*tcanned mental health and state hospitals while demanding leniency for “minor” infractions” so it’s just government issued social engineering. Let’s watch them fix the problem with draconian policies that do nothing.

He might’ve bought the body armor with his paycheck from working about a year for Wendys. If he was targeting people with his bb gun, that should have been another clue. He was struggling with attendance and failed to graduate. This added with his social media history tell us he wasn’t an anonymous or surprising perp. It wasn’t if but when.

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

Which 10% of FReepers have you identified?

PJ media is reporting that he led law enforcement on an 85 mile, high-speed chase before crashing and entering the school...

Methinks the writer forgot the words "per hour" after "mile[s]."

He drove a pretty new truck. The surest way to be declined for an auto loan is put Wendys - parttime as your employer and source of income.

One of the ARs is a Daniel Defense. Depending on model the price for a new one is around $1400 and go up from there. Cant tell the brand of the 2nd one, but it appears to be an $800+ gun if new. No job. Where did he get the cash?

Body armor isnt cheap either.

Reportedly Ramos was bullied for a stutter and lisp. Classmates also allegedly called him with gay slurs. At one point, he uploaded a picture of himself wearing eyeliner.
