A state report detailed that the gunman's violent actions were driven partly by “a desire for notoriety and fame.”
took place in the gunman’s former fourth-grade classroom at Robb Elementary School. He had discussed “bad memories” of that school year with an acquaintance just weeks before storming the campus while heavily armed and slaughtering the victims, the report shows.
Ramos was born in Fargo, North Dakota, on May 16, 2004, to unmarried parents who broke up shortly after his birth. His mother then returned to her native town of Uvalde, taking him and his sister with her. The children’s father had “limited and inconsistent involvement” with them afterward, the report states.
Ramos’ former girlfriend told the FBI she believed he was sexually assaulted “at an early age” by one of his mother’s boyfriends, but his mother didn’t believe Ramos’ claims that he was molested. School records showed Ramos’ pre-K teacher described him as “a wonderful student ... always ready to learn” and lauded his “hard work and positive attitude in the classroom.”
Ramos’ family recalled it differently, however, reporting that other students still bullied him throughout fourth grade because of “his stutter, clothing and short haircut,” the report notes. Ramos’ cousin was in the same fourth-grade class and confirmed those allegations.The cousin reported that on one occasion, another girl in the class tied Ramos’ shoelaces together, which caused him to fall over and hurt his face.
