The Department of Justice on Thursday released its report on the law enforcement response to the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
There were multiple opportunities to take the shooter into custody and make sure he couldn’t own a gun before he ever bought a gun. All it takes is one felony conviction.
“He had also previously posted violent threats online.[127]”
"Ramos’ social media acquaintances said he openly abused and killed animals such as cats and would livestream the abuse on Yubo.[128] Other social media acquaintances said that he would also livestream himself on Yubo threatening to kidnap and rape girls who used the app, as well as threatening to commit a school shooting.[127] Ramos’ account was reported to Yubo, but no action was taken.[127][129] "
“A year before the shooting, Ramos started posting pictures to his Instagram account of semi-automatic rifles that were on his wish list. According to a friend of his, he would often drive around at night with another friend, shooting at strangers with a BB gun and egging cars.”
" On May 14, Ramos sent a private Instagram message reading, “10 more days”. A person responded, “Are you going to shoot up a school or something?” He replied, “No, stop asking dumb questions. You’ll see.”[127]"
“According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, in September 2021, Ramos asked his older sister to buy him a gun, but she refused.[56]”
