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.
