Disturbing New Info About the Uvalde Shooter

From a report just issued:

A year before the Uvalde school massacre, the gunman had already earned the nickname “school shooter” — a running joke among those he played online games with. He had also started wearing all black and making over-the-top threats, especially toward women, who he terrorized with graphic descriptions of violence and rape.

Those details are part of an interim report by the House committee investigating the incident, which points to a trail of missed signs leading to one of the worst mass shootings in Texas — one that was months in the making.

The report, released Sunday, presents the most complete picture to date of the 18-year-old who killed 19 students and two teachers in his former fourth-grade classroom at Robb Elementary. The findings are based on law enforcement interviews with family members, data on the shooter’s phone and testimony presented to the committee.

Salvador Ramos — who the committee is only referring to as “the attacker” so as to deny him the notoriety and fame he desired — also shot and wounded his grandmother, Celia Gonzales, before storming the school.

He was born in Fargo, North Dakota but moved to Uvalde as a child with his sister and mother, who struggled with a long history of drug use. A former girlfriend interviewed by the FBI said she believed the shooter had been sexually assaulted at an early age by one of the mother’s boyfriends but that the mother didn’t believe him, according to the report.

Relatives described him as someone shy and quiet who was reluctant to interact with others because he had a speech impediment. When he started school, his pre-K teacher described him as a “wonderful student,” always ready to learn and with a positive attitude.

Then, something changed. He started falling behind in school but never received special education services, despite being identified as “at-risk” and having someone request speech therapy for him, according to the report, citing school records.

Bullied as a child, etc. Like the Columbine shooters.

Family and friends told the committee he was bullied throughout the fourth grade over his stutter, short haircut and clothing. He often wore the same clothing day after day. One time, a girl tied his shoelaces together causing him to fall on his face, a cousin said.

Beginning in 2018, he was recording more than 100 absences a year, along with failing grades. But the report authors said it was unclear whether a school resource officer ever visited his home. By 2021, when he was 17 years old, he had only completed ninth grade, the report’s authors wrote.

When students started to return to school following the pandemic, he dropped out. Instead of trying to fit in, as he had done in the past, he grew more isolated and retreated to the online world. Uvalde High School officials involuntarily withdrew him on October 28, citing “poor academic performance and lack of attendance.”

In an interview with The Texas Tribune, Ariana Diaz, a senior at Uvalde High School and one of the shooter's former classmates, described him as a "popular loner," someone who everyone knew, but who kept to himself. She also said that after COVID, he seemed to be in what she described as a “dark place,” and started wearing all black and combat boots.

He became depressed and lonely, those who knew him said.

He would tell his girlfriend at the time that he wouldn’t live past 18, either because he would commit suicide or “wouldn’t live long,” the girl later told the FBI in an interview, according to the report. When she broke up with him in mid-2021, he started harassing her and her friends, the girl told officials.

400 fucking police officers were there. FOUR HUNDRED!!!

More:

Online, the report authors said, he started to show an interest in gore and violent sex, sometimes sharing videos and images of suicides and beheadings. He became enraged and threatened others, especially female players, when he lost games.

Privately, he wrote about his challenges connecting with others or feeling empathy for them, saying he was “not human.” His search history, the authors of the report wrote, suggest he was wondering whether he was a sociopath. His internet searches led to him receiving an email about obtaining psychological treatment for the condition.

Attacking women became a pattern. He was also fired from his job at a Whataburger after a month for threatening a female coworker. And later he was let go of his job at Wendy’s.

Despite losing his jobs, living at home allowed him to save money. By the end of 2021, when clues of his plans first surfaced, he ordered rifle slings, a red dot sight and shin guards, as well as a body armor carrier he wore the day of the Robb Elementary massacre. But because he was still 17 at the time, he wasn’t legally allowed to buy the weapons and at least two people he asked refused.

He started becoming fascinated with school shootings and increasingly seeking notoriety and fame on social media, the report said.

Mass shooters always have a history of violence against women. It should shock NO ONE this loser threatened and harassed his ex and her friends and killed a female relative first, before the massacre.

There are always signs that trash like this are going to go off.

Everytime I read bout this story it keeps getting darker and darker. Why is the FBI not doing anything? It seems the parents are getting harassed by the police and state politicians. Biden wants to court the Texan Latino vote, well this is it bitch. Get the FBI to kick some Texas scum ass.

So many red flags.

He moved in with his grandmother, who had retired from the local school district after 27 years, after having a blowout argument with his mother that was livestreamed on Instagram. The report doesn't specify who livestreamed it, but The Washington Post reported that two months prior to the shooting, he posted an Instagram story in which he screamed at his mother who, according to a high school classmate, he said was trying to kick him out of their home.

He confided in an older cousin who was also staying with their grandmother that he didn’t want to live anymore. But the cousin told authorities she thought she’d gotten through to him after a lengthy “heart-to-heart.”

Instead, Ramos began to buy more firearm accessories beginning in February, including 60 30-round magazines. As soon as he turned 18, on May 16, he started buying guns and ammunition. In the end he bought two AR-15-style rifles and thousands of rounds. In total, he spent more than $6,000, the committee found.

He had no criminal history nor had he ever been arrested. There was nothing in his background that kept him from owning the weapons. And while multiple gun sales within a short period of time are reported to the ATF, the committee report authors point out that the law only requires purchase of handguns to be reported to the local sheriff.

1740 hollow point bullets:

Online, the shooter started to reference a timeline, foreshadowing his plans.

On April 2, he sent someone a direct message on Instagram, “Are you still gonna remember me in 50 something days?”

The person responded, “probably not.”

“Hmm alright we’ll see in may,” Ramos responded.

At least, one friend from out of town started to become worried and proposed visiting him in Uvalde. But when the friend said he wouldn’t be able to go until July or August, he said “damn that’s too late.”

Five days before he went on a rampage, a man targeted and killed 10 Black people in a Buffalo, N.Y. supermarket. The mass shooting didn’t go unnoticed by Ramos. He saved news stories and other information about it. He also spent time with a cousin’s son who went to Robb Elementary to get information about his schedule and lunch periods, officials reported.

On the eve of the shooting, Ramos sent out messages to people about something he was going to do the following day.

“I got a lil secret,” he wrote to a German girl he had befriended.

It was impossible to do that day, he explained, because he was waiting for something to be delivered.

His order of 1,740 hollow points arrived later that day.

Regular citizens should not be allowed to purchase hollow points. People who want them 'just because' are FREAKS Come at me ammosexuals, I give ZERO fucks about you or your opinions about those bullets.

[quote]In total, he spent more than $6,000, the committee found.

Damn, what I could do with $6,000.

Shocked that he had a girlfriend.

I keep wondering wtf he was doing in that over an hour after he stopped shooting before the cops finally stormed the classroom. Was he talking to the cops? Just hanging out in the classroom watching kids bleed out?

What??

Well, if he was a gore fan then he was probably jerking off while he watch the kids bleed out. Maybe he fucked some of the cavernous holes he made in the bodies, with the hollow points. Probably videoed it, maybe livestreamed it to Twitch or Gab.

With cunt's like that guy, the possibilities are, sadly, endless.

*cunts

Very sad indeed, but I'm sure the NRA would welcome him as a member.

Hope he burns in hell.

There should be a lifetime registry for men who are violent towards women.

There should be a lifelong registry for people who hurt animals.

Where the hell did he get $6,000?

The very sad fact there are idiots out there against the death penalty, and even if the jury did recommend the death penalty, in this county, the lawyers will be make sure it never happens. Years and years and the accused receives free health benefits, free college education, everything free except freedom.

There are plenty of non-idiots who are against the death penalty, and for very good moral and legal reasons, r20

Well what were they supposed to do with the fact that he started to wear all black?

(R21) How generous to claim your a non-idiot.

I spot a wee bit of irony at R23

I feel no sympathy whatsoever for his kin. I hope that his cousin who thought one lousy heart to heart would fix him, feels tremendous guilt. Mom needs a hot bag of fentanyl. Grandma is a piece of shit too. All that crap being delivered to her house, right under her nose? Fuck her too. I really loathe Texas.

If only he'd started wearing trench coats, THEN they could have put a stop to it.

(R21) I believe the Bible has the following "eye for eye tooth for tooth, etc."

(R24) I believe you need to have your eyes checked.

Fuck him and his family.

Honestly just flag everyone who plays Call Of Duty.
