Following the horrific shooting at a Texas elementary school Tuesday the facts are still being collected on what drove the 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, identified as the shooter by authorities, to commit such a heinous act best described as “just evil.”
Ramos was said to have entered the grounds of Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas where he opened fire and continued to do so as he proceeded through the building. At least 19 students and two teachers were confirmed to have been killed according to Fox News, and Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) stated the shooter was also dead and he is believed to have been acting alone.
The suspect’s social media accounts support claims made by fellow classmates and coworkers that Ramos was a loner. CNN reported that he worked at a local Wendy’s and the evening manager Adrian Mendes said he “kept to himself mostly.”
“He felt like the quiet type, the one who doesn’t say much. He didn’t really socialize with the other employees. He just worked, got paid, and came in to get his check,” Mendes added.
However, a former co-worker told something of a different story, according to The Daily Beast, recounting, “He would be very rude towards the girls sometimes, and one of the cooks, threatening them by asking, ‘Do you know who I am?’ And he would also send inappropriate texts to the ladies.”
She added Ramos had an “aggressive streak” and that, “At the park, there’d be videos of him trying to fight people with boxing gloves. He’d take them around with him.”
His social media accounts have been shut down to the public, but the Daily Mail reported that on his TikTok page his bio read “Kids be scared irl (in real life).” On his Instagram page, he allegedly had posted images of his firearms.
A former friend said, “He would like, not go to school…and he just, like, slowly dropped out. He barely came to school.”
That friend who played first-person shooters with Ramos on Xbox explained that four days prior to the tragic shooting, the suspect had sent him photos of his weapons and when asked why he had them, Ramos allegedly replied, “Don’t worry about it.”
The guns were said to have been bought recently on his 18th birthday, according to the Beast, and he had reportedly brought them into his conversation on Instagram with a woman in Los Angeles, CA.
“You gonna repost my gun pics,” he asked her.
“What your guns gotta do with me,” she asked before stating she was confused. She also told Ramos his behavior was “scary” especially since they barely knew each other.
Ramos messaged the woman that he had “a lil secret” and that he’d be telling her about it later the morning before the shooting. His final message to her was “ima air out.”
She explained that “He’s a stranger” and that she knew nothing about him when he decided to tag her in his photos before expressing her condolences to the victims, “I’m so sorry for the victims and their families I really don’t know what to say.”
The shooting was the worst of its kind since 2012 when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26, 20 of whom were aged between six and seven, at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
One Uvalde resident told The New York Times, “This is just evil. I’m afraid I’m going to know a lot of these kids that were killed.”

ARRESTING THE BREEDERS FOR IMPERSONATING PARENTS SHOULD BE THE NEXT MOVE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT ! F.J.B.
ANY ONE OF THESE PEOPLE (the tagged girl, the Xbox friend) should have reported this behavior to the police in Ramos’s town or even their own town!
Showing guns like that, the brash behavior, the bizarre personality along with the guns.
Wow, this whole nightmare could have been stopped.
Children bully other children, we’ve all been through it. But normal people don’t become a homicidal lunatic because of it. But when you are an aggressive teenager, known to police for violent confrontations with family, you are past excuses. This killer should have been locked up until they discovered how mentally destroyed he was, for the public good.
Many, many states have veterans that are school teachers and have advanced training with fire arms during their service. They been conditioned to react in extreme life or death situations. They would be perfect to arm for this very scenario. Retired veterans would be glad to protect these young ones.
all states should harden there schools and at least try and prevent this
Send your kid to public school and you roll the dice! On the education and possibly their life. When people realize that schools are breeding grounds for hate and isolation maybe things will change. When the “leader” of the country preaches hate and division and criminals walk free every day what do you expect. The Adults that are elected just blame and accuse each other of whatever B.S fits and have 0 maturity. Its ALL just pathetic.
AT SOME POINT PARENTS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOB WITH THESE NUTCASES TOO !! F.J.B.
Send your kid to public school and you roll the dice! On the education … realize that schools are breeding grounds for hate and isolation
You’re absolutely right
This is Biden’s fault. Biden and his evil, criminal gang who let foul hispanic gangsters into this country.
NO! It’s America’s fault for allowing this to get totally out of control.
And after all this, Biden comes out and proves what a worthless dirt bag he is! Ironically, I thought he was just going to say something of kindness to all but instead he went into a political tirade about the gun lobby and the need for gun control! “Never let a good crisis go to waste”!
Given he’s been in office at the federal level for decades, he needs to explain why we don’t have gun control.
We don’t have gun control? You need to get informed. Can you enlighten everyone about what laws we are lacking that would have prevented this?
We have laws against MURDER. So, you really mean we don’t have gun bans. Because this killer violated MULTIPLE gun laws and it didn’t stop him. Which law would have stopped him that we don’t have? The only one that *might* have slowed him down a bit is a gun ban. And that would only work if he didn’t take a trip south of the border to buy his guns. THINK while you still can. And what would have happened if one of those teachers had been armed?
Well, he did ask for $40 Billion to protect the Ukraine. While our schools just get the Dept of Justice calling parents domestic terrorists and investigating them.
