The cousin of the Texas school shooter Salvador Ramos has spoken out and revealed how the teenage gunman had been asking her son for details about his school.
Shelby Celeste Salazar, who lived with Ramos and their grandmother together with her young son, has revealed shocking details suggesting the teenage shooter was preparing for the massacre for at least a week.
As Shelby told DailyMail.com, Ramos was inquiring about Robb Elementary School, where Shelby’s second-grader son is studying, in one of his conversations with the young boy.
“At the time I didn’t think anything of it, they had a good relationship,” the mother-of-four said.
According to Salazar, the 18-year-old was asking her son for details about the school including what time the students have a lunch break.
A week after the conversation with his younger cousin, Salvador shot his grandmother in the face, stole her car, crashed the vehicle outside the school, and proceeded to kill 19 students and 2 teachers in the school.
“No one knows why he did what he did. That’s the truth. No one can say they knew what he was thinking or how he felt, or even why he felt he need to shoot our grandmother and all those innocent babies,” Salazar added.
She went on to admit that she was “at a total loss for words” because they have no idea why the teen killed so many innocent people and why he shot his own grandmother in the head.
“He knew my baby went to school there. I can’t grasp this. That’s why I’m at a loss for words. I just saw the news with text messages and started freaking out,” she said.
“If he could do that to my grandma I don’t know how to feel about the school thing, knowing my baby went to school there. My son and him were so close this is why I’m shocked.”
She continued: “I thought nothing of it when they were talking about school and his grade and lunch. I mean you don’t just assume someone will do something like this, you know?”
Salazar also claimed that Ramos went from joking and laughing to being “silent” after his mother, Adriana Reyes, allegedly called the police on him and kicked him out of her house a few months ago.
Reyes, meanwhile, begged people to forgive her son and stop judging him as she insisted she had a good relationship with her son.
