Uvalde Shooter

I've read so many false premises I figured I would fill in the knowledge gaps with what I have learned about Salvador Ramos, age 18, murderer of 19 children and 2 teachers. I learned all this from listening to the news.

His mother is a drug addict. She is still alive, and lives in a second house owned by the grandmother, who is trying to evict her for non payment of rent.

His father is completely absent. No one knows where he is.

Abandoned by both parents, he was being raised by his grandmother and still lived with her. He was no longer in school.

He was deeply, deeply troubled, and people who knew him described him as a loner, which is a warning sign in troubled kids. People who tried to befriend him quickly unfriended him because he would say shocking things and was so "out there". He was known to cut himself. He cut up his own FACE and told people it was for fun.

His grandmother is still alive and in serious condition, and if she survives she will be able to provide more information about WHY he started shooting.

The fact that Salvador was age 18 and was no longer in school would have made it almost impossible to commit him for treatment under any existing red flag law for students.

Childhood neglect is a serious issue. God Is honestly the only reason I have never seen the inside of a jail cell and still alive.

I grew up around violence, I was introduced to sex before I even understood what it was, I was neglected, I was righting suicide notes by 13/14 and, I tried to off myself all before the age of 18. There was a time I absolutely hated the world and everything in it. The one good thing I can say my dad did is put his gun in a safe
