TEXAS: Salvador Ramos, the 18-year-old gunman, who allegedly shot and killed at least 21 people, including several children and two adults, at a Texas elementary school, had posted a picture of 2 assault rifles on Instagram before the massacre.
He even tagged a young woman, messaging her, "Be grateful I tagged you." Texas school shooter cryptically wrote to her, "I got a little secret." When she asked him what he meant, he only said, "before 11." On her own Instagram account, she said she fell asleep before she could answer him.
Ramos, 18, allegedly shot and killed his grandmother before heading to Robb Elementary School in Uvalde with two assault rifles around 11:32 AM local time, according to the US officials.
The 18-year-old gunman, who was identified as the suspect in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Tuesday, was killed by police after the shooting.
Tuesday’s shooting was one of the worst school massacres in US history — in 2012, 20 first-graders and six educators were killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. The gunman in that case, Adam Lanza, gunned down his mother in bed before opening fire at the school.
