While authorities released grim details about Tuesday's attack, the shattered community is mourning as details emerge about the victims.
On Tuesday, the gunman shot his grandmother in the face and fled her home, crashing her vehicle near Robb Elementary. His 66-year-old grandmother contacted police, officials said, and she was taken to a San Antonio hospital, where she remained in critical condition on Wednesday.A woman who identified herself as Ramos’s mother said in a brief phone conversation Wednesday afternoon that she did not want to talk about her son.
The gunman then went to a fourth-grade classroom, barricaded himself and carried out “most, if not all, of his damage,” Considine said. After the shooting, one of the gunman’s rifles was found with him and the other in the vehicle he had driven to the scene. People who knew the gunman have said he lashed out violently and acted strangely over the years. They also said he had a difficult home life and had been bullied at school.
Abbott described the social media messages as the lone warning of planned violence. Before the shooting, Abbott said, “the only information that was known in advance” came from those messages.
