Ramos legally purchased two AR-15-style rifles on his 18th birthday, one of which he used during the shooting.
They are all facing non-lethal injuries and are expected to survive. In addition to the 21 who were killed, Ramos injured another 17 people in the massacre, Texas officials said at a news conference on Wednesday. The lengthy delay between what Ramos arrived at the school and when officers shot him has prompted intense scrutiny, and Texas state police are reviewing how the response unfolded. “The suspect made entry into the school and as soon as he made entry into the school he started shooting children, teachers, whoever’s in his way,” Christopher Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety said.Ī team composed of elite Border Patrol commandos, county deputies, and local police officers eventually breached the room some 60 minuted later, with a Border Patrol agent shooting Ramos dead.
