Oasis Outback, an outdoor supply store and gunship is seen Wednesday May 25, 2022 in Uvalde, Texas. Sources tell the San Antonio Express-News Salvador Rolando Ramos, 18, bought the guns he used in a shooting spree at Robb Elementary School to kill 19 children and two teachers at Oasis Outback shortly after his 18th birthday.
When Ramos went back a third time, on May 20, to pick up a Daniel Defense assault-style rifle — which he’d ordered online and would use in the mass shooting four days later — the Oasis manager asked him how an 18-year-old could afford such an expensive firearm. Ramos said he’d saved up for it.Ramos waited in the store while that May 20 gun transfer and background check were processed, video of the sale shows.
The manager’s assertion clashes with claims in lawsuits that relatives of the shooting victims have filed against the store, Georgia-based gunmaker Daniel Defense and others. At least two of the lawsuits allege that store employees were suspicious of Ramos but still handed him the Daniel Defense rifle.
Shortly before 3 p.m. that day, Porter told agents he recognized Ramos from a photo of the gunman that an “unknown individual” at the Uvalde County district attorney’s office had texted to him. “The ones we had a good relationship with would call ATF and let know about any suspicious purchases, but that’s not all the time,” Aguilera said. “However, that being said, when somebody who is a multi-purchaser buys multiple guns, ATF gets notified through a multiple-purchase sale ticket.”
One of the ATF reports said that around 5 p.m. May 24, a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper asked at a law enforcement staging center in Uvalde if ATF knew that Ramos had bought ammo at Oasis. An ATF agent said the agency knew about Ramos’ gun purchases only.
