Greg Abbott said the attacker’s last post, about 15min before the shooting, said: “I’m going to shoot an elementary school.”
governor described the messages at a news conference where he said the shooter, identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, used an AR-15 to attack the school in Uvalde, a predominantly Latino city of about 16,000 people in a farming area about 75 miles from the Mexican border and 85 miles from San Antonio. Abbott also said the shooter’s grandmother had called the police before he shot her.
