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.

Was it his truck or a family members? Nothing says but buying a 50+k truck on a Wendy’s part time income was quite a feat.
And the cause of this is perversion.
He shouldn’t have been in a public school, just like the kid in Florida.
That’s his most prominent defining characteristic?
He liked playing ‘call of duty’???
He shouldn’t have been in the school. Just like the kid in Florida. The other kids sensed he was bad news and were forced to take matters into their own hands.
I’d like to have you walk in his shoes from his birth to his death. Ohhhh that would be rich to watch!
He was insane. Blame the ACLU and the liberals for brainwashing him. No telling what kind of drugs he was taking. They have never even mentioned if he was a US citizen which makes me think he wasn’t.
Good question, since he was all geared up with a vest and all, and that had to be because he had bigger plans than just killing grandma. If not this school, perhaps he was headed for another.
Bullying is serious. Probably 90% of male soy boy democrats were bullied for being pantywastes in school and are now taking their revenge on the entire nation.
Ignore this for now. It is an unproven rumor.
His grandmother’s house was like a few blocks away from the school. I’m guessing they meant to say 85mph chase.
No one DESERVES being bullied. And "creepy dumbass" is better ignored than attacked.
Still FALSE.
“…born in North Dakota…”
“Serious treatment, even institutionalization if that is called for.”
That’s expensive. Our government already spends a lot of money to help those who our government has decided can’t help themselves. That’s medical, food, housing, free cellphones.
We could start off with all the members of the ChiComjoe kakistocracy.
SO IIUC, the school and children were not part of a plan, just a target of opportunity?
He had a drug abusing mom, which begs the question ...how many boyfriends and what they probably were like as “ role models.” Another thing to notice is what is completely absent... the father, the church, and any instruction about God. With His mom wasted and no bio father to speak of, there was no parenting going on until the very end, when his grandmother briefly took him in. So, his “parents, babysitter, and moral advisor” were just plastic, most likely a smart phone. Whoever provided him with that made a huge mistake.
Daniels Defense is a 1400 dollar rifle. The other generic one was no less than 800. The truck looked rather new. Call it 9000.
You cannot work more than 29 hours without being called fulltime, due to Obamacare regulations (this one has not been overturned.)
Call the wage at Wendys 12 an hour. That’s 311 a week take home, in Texas.
9000+1400+800=11200 / 311 = 36 weeks. He’d have to have started Wendys at 16 1/2 years and spent absolutely no money on ANYTHING else. No snack foods. No video games. Nothing.
All of this is very unlikely.
