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.

You don’t get two AR’s, a new pickup truck, and body armor by working for Wendys.

“He was bullied at school because he was a creepy dumbass sonofabitch that deserved it.”

And that line of thinking paid off in spades, didn’t it?

The only mention of a father was a neighbor “who tried to be a father figure.”

This kids is just more leftist-prog cultural flotsam and jetsam.

Why do two of the worst elementary school massacres happen under Obama/Biden?

For the past several years, young boys are constantly being lectured on their “toxic masculinity”. When going through puberty, they are told that those feelings they are having are due to the fact that they are really a female and need to start identifying as such. At school and on social media, they learn that America is an awful “white supremacist” country that just wants to destroy “people of color”.

Children are told they are worthless and can be done away with should their mother decide she doesn’t want them. Then, liberals states and cities locked them away from any type of in-person social activities with friends or real schooling (indoctrination only) for two years. What did they think was going to happen? Why are they surprised when children who are told that their life has no value suddenly decide that no other person’s life has value either.

Wendys — his “day job.”

I’ll try to get more details.

Well it wasn’t body armor he was wearing -— but yes you can save up for guns —and vehicle working at Wendy’s when you have no other expenses. Remember he wasn’t attending school. So he worked likely all week.

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

That would help explain the rapidity with which opponents of the 2nd amendment can get to a mic and their media allies to make their emotional pleas to ban firearms. The last bullet barely exited the killer's barrel and Chuck the Schmuck announced he was going to introduce a gun-ban bill.

I agree with you, Bro, these are orchestrated events. BUT the enemedia has so well imprinted the ‘conspiracy theory’ fools meme on the American Public (a meme started by the CIA, decades ago) that the devilment can be run repeatedly without we the people ending the three letter agency powers. We are so used to being lied to that we swallow the lies perhaps with disgust, but avoiding responsibility to act to end these bastards’ control over US.

PJ Media is recycling legitimate news reports and mangling them.

The real report says the kid lived with his grandmother 3 miles from the school. The town where they lived is 80 miles from San Antonio.

No long car chase.

Another question, why did he not shoot up his high school and instead, shot elementary school children? I wonder if the high school had better security?

Perhaps. Proofreading is often a neglected skill set.
