Texas shooter’s grandmother was a teacher’s aide at Robb Elementary School

The grandmother of the crazed gunman who killed 21 at a Texas elementary school last week worked at the school as a teacher’s aide, a close friend of the family told The Post.

The friend, who asked to be kept anonymous, did not know if that’s why Salvador Ramos, 18, chose Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, as his target — but his grandmother’s employment there is the first direct link between Ramos and the school, which is a half-mile from her home.

“His grandmother worked in one of those classrooms a lot of the time,” the friend told The Post. “She knows a lot of the kids who died and was close to them.”

Before Ramos went on a rampage at the school, he shot his grandmother, Celia “Sally” Martinez Gonzales, in the face at her home. While Gonzales was employed by the school at the time of the shooting, according to the friend and public records, it’s not clear why she was not there on the day of the attack.

The teenager had been sleeping on his grandparents’ couch two or three months before the shooting, Ramos’ grandfather previously told The Post. The husband said his 66-year-old wife had asked Ramos to start paying for his own cellphone bill just before the shooting happened.

So they have this woman working in the school, that was not smart enough to see all the signs that this guy was a psychopath lunatic.

How nice.

If she were an employee, she might well have had a key.

Why would he need a key when doors were propped open?

She probably told him plenty of stories about GOOD kids. That would make him irate.

Lot of weird narratives coming out today. Almost like rival gangs of glowies struggling to set the story.

I wonder what signs she missed that were viewable in the home.

Question being is would a teacher’s aide have a key or not. Because I’m fairly certain the teacher aides to my local elementary school don’t have any keys to the building, but that doesn’t mean it was the case with this school.

I have my doubts the Uvalde police will disclose this information unless it’s under a court order.

Ok, ok, ok,

A teachers aid?

Handing out milk?

Cleaning up, setting up the class...

It probably doesn’t go much beyond that limited functionary position.

Because she had been shot in the face?

I know I tend not to go to work when that happens.

Friendly reminder they floated out that Adam Lanza’s mother was a teacher’s aid at the school. And Adam was jealous. Turns out it was 100% BS.

Maybe he wore a dress at grandmas while slaughtering cats in her garage. I dunno...The entire family seems whacked.

This is what happens when the entitled are asked to contribute.

Just imagine what's gonna happen when the EBT cards don't work.

Headline (As if it's newsworthy):

Texas shooter’s grandmother was a teacher’s aide at Robb Elementary School

Some people have never lived in a small town.

There was speculation last week that this monster crashed by the elementary school, but his intended target was the local high school. It would seem with his grandmother's connection to the school this was indeed his intended target.

I get sick to my stomach and filled with rage every time I think about this attack,

Or, he used grandma to show up and case the place a few times.
