The US is shocked by the massacre in Texas, when an 18-year-old man stormed an elementary school in Uvalde and shot and killed 19 students and two teachers.
According to authorities who are still investigating the cause of the tragedy, Salvador Ramos, identified as the gunman behind the mass attack at Rob Elementary School, had sent a text message to an unknown person stating that he was "going to do it" hours before his attack.
Ramos, who was shot and killed by police officers, attended the city's high school and before the attack at the elementary school had shot his grandmother who was hospitalized in critical condition.
A photo of two AR15 rifles appeared on an Instagram account linked to the suspected Uvalde killer just three days before her massacre at Rob's elementary school.
The photo was posted as a story under the username salv8dor_. Many classmates confirmed that the account belonged to suspected gunman Salvador Ramos. Texas State Senator Gutierrez told CNN that Ramos, who turned 18 a few days ago, bought two assault rifles on his birthday. It's unclear whether they were used in Tuesday's massacre.
Ramos' TikTok page has only one post - a clip of a Subway Surfers mobile game. The bio under his profile picture reads: "Kids to be scared."
Salvador Ramos worked at a local Wendys, according to the restaurant's manager.
Adrian Mendes, a manager at Wendys, said Ramos was "quiet and didn't socialize with other employees, and noted that he didn't know him on a personal level and didn't see him most of the time because he was on different shifts.
Ramos worked from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 5 p.m., five days a week, and was already working there when Mendes started in February.
