But Blame The Guns: Teachers Knew Uvalde Shooter Was A Clear & Present Danger

Robb Elementary School mass-killer Salvador Ramos had scared teachers before his murder— even acting and “dressing like a school shooter” as far back as last year, a special hearing was told.

Concerns about the 18-year-old loner’s disturbing demeanor came up “several times” during interviews after Ramos killed 19 children and their two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, in May, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw told a state Senate hearing Tuesday.

“We had one teacher who said she always was worried about him — he was the one student who scared her most,” McCraw told the hearing while detailing the “abject failure” of the police response.

“Last year he … started dressing like a school shooter, started acting like a school shooter,” he added of the teacher’s concerns.

“He certainly took on the persona of a school shooter in dress and demeanor over the last year, and people noted this.

“But yet it didn’t get reported,” he said of missed warnings, which he admitted included Ramos carrying around a bag of dead cats.

“We have yet to identify even one report to the school or law enforcement that discussed animal cruelty” or how Ramos appeared to be “a morose, suicidal, fatalistic loner who had sympathies with [and] had been called a school shooter.”

“They never reported that to law enforcement or to the school,” he said.

Ramos also “communicated extensively on several different social media platforms” with people who seemed “empathetic and sympathetic” about his desire to be a school shooter, he said.

“You get notoriety, you get points, for being a school shooter, and it’s obviously disturbing,” he told the hearing.

He said experts are asking “could we have intervened if we didn’t know? Could we have done something?

“And the answer is almost overwhelmingly yes,” he said. “That’s why it’s so important that the public reports this.”

“The only thing stopping a hallway of dedicated officers from entering room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children,” Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw told a special Texas Senate committee about Uvalde Consolidated ISD Police Chief Pete Arrendondo.

“Mistakes were made and it should have never happened that way and we can’t allow that to ever happen…this set our profession back a decade,” he said.
