Got a lil secret, I'm about to...: Texas school shooter's cryptic texts to a stranger before killing 22
India Today
Salvador Ramos murdered at least 19 children and two teachers after storming into a Texas elementary school on Tuesday. Here's all we know about his last interaction.
Hours before he opened fire on children at a school in Texas, the 18-year-old shooter had sent a cryptic message, 'I'm about to', to a stranger on Instagram. He was using an account with the username “salv8dor_", which was taken down shortly after that shooter was identified as Salvador Ramos.
The Instagram account which is believed to be of the shooter contained photos of firearms and a mirror selfie of himself. The account also shared a photo of two rifles and tagged another person in the post.
The user, @epnupues, said she did not know Ramos at all. He tagged her in the gun photo and messaged her that he “got a lil secret”. The Instagram user asked him why he tagged her in the pic of the rifles, adding that she was scared.
“You gonna repost my gun pics,” @sal8dor_ direct messaged the girl on May 12.
“what your guns gotta do with me,” she replied on Friday.
“Just wanted to tag you,” he said back.
Then at 5:43 am Tuesday @salv8dor_ messaged her “I’m about to”.
