The gunman Salvador Ramos, aged 18, who killed 21 people, 19 children and two teachers, last Tuesday in Uvalde, Texas, asked his cousin questions about the school he attacked one week before.
According to the minor’s mother, Shelby Celeste Salazar, Ramos asked her son, a third-grade student at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, what school he attended and the time the students had lunch, in addition, he questioned him about his grades.
“At that time (when he questioned it) I did not think anything about it, they had a good relationship”, the mother told the Daily Mail.
And added what was the relationship between them: “They are second cousins”.
The Hispanic mother pointed out that both the gunman and her son were very close, which is why it is difficult for her to know that committed a massacre at his son’s school.
Likewise, he pointed out that the questions that Ramos asked his son did not cause “noise” because they are “normal” questions that a relative asks him to another during a talk.
“I mean you don’t always assume someone will do something like this, you know?” Salazar said.
After the massacre, Shelby Celeste Salazar said not know if Salvador Ramos deliberately avoided attacking his cousin at school, as he did with his grandmother, whom he shot repeatedly.
On Tuesday morning, Salvador Ramos of 18 years old, entered Robb Elementary School and opened fire indiscriminately, killing 19 children and two teachers. He also died after an exchange of bullets with the authorities.
The attacker of 18 years died in an exchange shooting with the police and it is known that before he went to school he shot his grandmother who is in critical condition.
