FBI investigates TEXAS massacre attacker SALVADOR RAMOS' home

The perpetrator of the shooting that shook the United States on Tuesday, Salvador Ramos, entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and barricaded himself in a classroom where his victims were. There he killed 19 children, who were between 8 and 10 years old, and two teachers, and wounded other people, according to the spokesman of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Chris Olivarez, told CNN. Ramos bought two assault rifles the day he turned 18 and warned of his plans through social networks: first to a stranger on Instagram and then on his Facebook account. As reported by Texas Governor Greg Abbott at a press conference on Wednesday, before heading to school and opening fire with a pistol and a rifle, the young man shot his grandmother in the face and announced it in a post. He then warned that he was going to Robb Elementary School, where he committed the massacre. Defined by his neighbors as a shy and withdrawn young man, Ramos was gunned down by police gunfire. U.S. President Joe Biden gave a speech to the nation in which, visibly moved, he condemned the massacre and spoke of his weariness with the inaction of Congress in the face of these repeated attacks. Pope Francis called for an end to "the indiscriminate circulation of weapons" in an appeal at the end of the general audience he held in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican before thousands of faithful. So far this year, there have been more than 200 mass shootings in the United States.
