According to reports, Uvalde, TX gunman Salvador Ramos shared his plans via Facebook Messenger minutes before carrying out the deadly attack.
Roughly a half-hour before the shooting, Ramos allegedly wrote “I’m going to shoot my grandmother,” followed by a message confirming he carried out the harrowing deed. Minutes before going to the elementary school, Ramos allegedly wrote “I’m going to shoot an elementary school.”
Facebook policy communications director Andy Stone explained that the messages were not public but “private one-to-one text messages that were discovered after the terrible tragedy occurred.”
