Authorities were still trying to piece together what drove Ramos to commit America's worst school massacre in a decade, but here is what is known so far about the shooting:Described as a long-bullied youth with a history of self-harm, Ramos turned 18 on May 16 and bought an assault rifle the very next day.Ramos - a dropout with no criminal history - messaged on Facebook on Tuesday morning that he planned to attack his grandmother, whom he lived with, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said.
The identities of the victims have been gradually revealed as shattered families share their pain online: Xavier Lopez, a 10-year-old boy who loved to dance; Ellie Garcia,"the happiest ever" in her father's words and Amerie Jo Garza, a girl with a brilliant smile who had just celebrated her 10th birthday.As a crowd grew nearby, police arrived on the scene in response to a report of a crashed vehicle.
Law enforcement officers"put themselves between the shooter and children on the scene to draw the shooter's attention away from potential victims", said Espinosa. A cousin, Mia, told The Washington Post Ramos"wasn't very much of a social person" after being bullied for a stutter. He loved playing video games, according to another friend.
