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.

He was bullied at school because he was a creepy dumbass sonofabitch that deserved it.
If he is an illegal alien does that change the story at all?
Again, this shows the need to address MENTAL ILLNESS. Serious treatment, even institutionalization if that is called for. Otherwise, it will be trying to make the whole country safe from them—removing guns, knives, cars, bats, etc.—just like we might around a 2 year hold. Until we get serious about mental illness, we’ll see repeats of this.
He was born in North Dakota.
This would be a classic age for early-onset schizophrenia.
But the enemidia will blame the guns and the NRA.
Rumor has it that he was an MS-13 gang member or had ties to MS-13.
That article is replete with excuses for this psycho schizo tranny , this darling hate fabrication of our post modern liberal society, murdering people.
The would-be mass murderer...
“If he is an illegal alien does that change the story at all”?
Yeah, he came across the border a week ago. He blended in with the thousands who crossed that day. He forgot how to speak spanish and learned english in less than 24 hours.
There wee flashing lights all around that were ignored. The kid was a cutter, he cut his face, the school never noticed? He should have had mental help, but we continue to ignore mental illness whatever form it takes - just look how we ignore Biden’s mental issues.
Do we know he headed for the school, or was the school simply the first public building closest to his crash?
Poor? He had a brand new pick up, body armor and everything else?
From now on everyone will get a diploma.
PJ media is reporting that he led law enforcement on an 85 mile, high-speed chase before crashing and entering the school. They couldn’t stop him within 85 miles? WTF?

Sometimes they are just evil. But everyone seems to call these people out after the shooting instead of before.
I knew plenty of poor kids growing up. The only ones who were bullied were bullied for the same reason the middle and upper-class kids were. They were creeps.
I thought the article said he lived near the school
No, nobody deserves bullying. On the contrary, bullying often pushes mentally troubled kids over the edge. Had he not been bullied, he might have been able to cope with his demons.
Leftist controlled American culture and public education created this monster. This young man’s mind was warped with violence.
