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.

I wouldn’t call a private message a “post”, but maybe you’re new to social media.

No he didn't says FB.

But Facebook says they were private messages.. so Abbott is lying again

Please revise your headline 'Posted to Facebook' implies these were public postings, which they were not.

Salvador Ramos as: Everything we know about Texas school mass shooterThe 18-year-old Uvalde high school student carried out the worst mass shooting at a US elementary school since Sandy Hook, officials said We did it with the TSA after Sept 11. Before that many airports had little or no security at all. Passenger searches were not standardized. I hope we learn a lesson here. Guns arent going away any time soon. Too many people own them. We need a national security for all schools. These incidents happen even in states that have passed strict gun controls. New York is an example. We need security and/or police officers at every school in America! The same way there are armed guards at every airport, bank, casino, etc...this is a massive security failure!
