Up until a month before the shooting, Ramos worked at a local Wendy’s, and had been employed there for at least a year.
Glassdoor says that starting salary for a fast food crewmember in Uvalde (specifically Burger King) is about $17-19K per year, and Wendy’s employment site says they offer competitive wages. He also had little to no expenses. Wouldn’t take long to come up with the money needed.
I disagree. See 207.
