The mother of the 18-year-old who walked into a Texas elementary school and killed 21 people including 19 children, is speaking out.
Adriana Reyes – who is the mother of Salvador Ramos – told Matt Gutman that her son’s ‘rage’ made her nervous,
“I had an uneasy feeling sometimes, like ‘what are you up to?’ He can be aggressive… If he really got mad.”
Hours before the shooting, Ramos got in an altercation with his grandmother over him not graduating high school, according to a family friend and neighbor. That’s when Ramos ‘got mad’ shot her in the face, stole her vehicle and drove to Robb Elementary School. He then barricaded himself inside of a classroom and got in a shoot-out with law enforcement.
17 others were injured in the mass shooting including three officers.
Even though Ramos murdered 19 innocent children and two beloved teachers, his mother insists that he was “not a monster,” saying,
“We all have a rage. Some people have it more than others.”
In a previous interview Reyes said,
“My son wasn’t a violent person. I’m surprised by what he did.”
However, Ramos’ grandfather said he had ‘problems’ with his mother and reports indicate that Reyes would often get into screaming matches with her son that resulted in the police getting called out to the home. In one report Ramos is said to have physically attacked his mother with his fists.
Ramos reportedly got kicked out of his mothers home over an altercation about WiFi. That’s when Ramos went to live with his grandparents in Uvalde, Texas. That’s not all, classmates of Ramos told local media that he often got in fights and threatened other students.
While speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that Ramos has evil in his heart for shooting his grandmother in the face saying,
“Evil swept across Uvalde yesterday….. But it is far more evil for someone to gun down little kids.”
Something Reyes expressed sympathy for in the interview saying,
“Those kids … I have no words. I don’t know what to say about those poor kids.”
The mass shooting at Robb Elementary school is the deadliest school shooting since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012 that resulted in the deaths of 20 children and six adults.
Aguayo News Previously Reported:
The 18-year-old gunman who allegedly shot and killed at least 18 children and a teacher at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas is also believed to have shot his grandmother before driving to the school.
Also, in the hours before the shooting an account believed to belong to Salvador Ramos – who attended high school in Uvalde – appeared to admit his plans on social media just hours before walking into the school and opening fire.
On a now removed instagram account with the user name salv8dor_ and believed to belong to Ramos, were a pair of selfies, a person sitting with a magazine in their lap and a pair of rifles laying side by side.
The account tagged another user in picture of the rifles – @epnupues -However the owner of that account claims that Ramos is “a stranger,” adding “i know nothing about him he decided to tag me in his gun post. i’m so sorry for the victims and their families i really don’t know what to say.”
The account holder said it was ‘scary’ that Ramos tagged her in the photo of the rifles during a DM chat thread between the account @sal8dor_ and @epnupues
May 12:
“You gonna repost my gun pics”
She replied Friday saying,
“what your guns gotta do with me”
“Just wanted to tag you”
“I’m so confused,” she replied then posted
“But why”
He then said,
“idk, be grateful I tagged you”
She replied: ‘No it’s just scary,’ adding: ‘I barely know you and you tag me in a picture with guns?’
Then at 5:43 a.m. Tuesday @salv8dor_ messaged her “I’m about to”.
“about to what” she asked
“I’ll tell you before 11” he said.
He said he’d text her in an hour and said she had to respond, adding
“I got a lil secret I wanna tell u.”
He did not send a message revealing his secret. His last message at 9:16 a.m. was “Ima air out”.
About two and a half hours later school officials announced that Robb Elementary school was on lockdown after shots were fired.
Shortly after that an ‘active shooter’ was reported at the elementary school.
