Texas School Shooter' Sister Serving in US Navy


Texas School Shooter' Sister Serving in US Navy

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Uvalde school mass shooter has an older sister who is currently serving in the United States Navy.

Marisabelle Ramos, 21, is three years older than her dead brother Salvador, who was responsible for Tuesday’s massacre at Robb Elementary School.

“My granddaughter Marisabelle is in the Navy and currently stationed in San Diego, California” her grandfather, Rolando Reyes told the Daily Mail.

Reyes said Marisabelle rushed back to San Antonio to be with her grandmother Celia after receiving the tragic news.

“She’s with her grandmother in the hospital and staying in San Antonio for the time being.”

Celia is in a San Antonio hospital, after being shot in the face by her grandson, Marisabelle’s 18-year-old brother Salvador, just before he gunned down 19 children and two teachers at the Robb Elementary School.

Authorities have said for the past several months Ramos discussed buying a gun and shooting up a school.

Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said on Friday, last September Ramos asked his sister to buy him a gun, but she refused.

Ramos slaughtered at least 19 innocent children in the second deadliest school shooting in American history in Uvalde, Texas before being shot dead in a shootout with a border patrol officer.

Police say Ramos bought two AR-15 assault rifles for his 18th birthday days before the shooting, bragged about them on social media and suggested he would commit an atrocity before the deadly attack. 

Days after the shooting massacre at a Texas elementary school, the National Rifle Association is gathering this weekend in Houston as the debate over gun control heats up.

The annual convention has also drawn protesters calling for greater gun reforms in the wake of the shooting in Uvalde.

Several Republican officials who attended the event spoke out against gun restrictions.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said calls to further restrict gun access are "all about control and it is garbage," while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz argued that expanded background checks would not work and instead called for armed officers at schools.
