Deranged Texas mass shooter Salvador Ramos may have hinted at his plan to gun down school children in a verbal rant after losing a violent video game, a report said.
Threats from a male player that he would “shoot up a school” using an AR-15 disturbed one fellow gamer so much she reported it to the FBI, The US Sun reported Wednesday.
The threats reportedly came after the player lost the video game Dead by Daylight just hours before the carnage at Robb Elementary School Tuesday, The Sun reported.
Another source told The Sun Ramos threatened to shoot up schools when playing Call of Duty.
The worried Dead by Daylight gamer, who was not identified by The Sun, wrote on Reddit “So I have no idea if they were joking or what but they were super angry about losing and started saying they were going to shoot up a school and they mentioned they had some type of gun and kept saying it was going to be all of our fault.”
She added that she recorded the entire postchat and everyone kind of brushed if off, “but I just am in disbelief because I’ve never seen someone say that before.”
The gamer said she reported him to the game’s creators and also the FBI, according to The Sun.
“However I’m a little stressed because when I went back to watch exactly what they said the person said ‘What if I shoot up a school tomorrow :)” she said on Reddit, the Sun reported.
When she was asked if the gamer behind the threats might’ve been Ramos, she replied, “The gun he mentioned was an AR15 with I think an extended clip or something but I don’t know. I feel horrible for those children and families.”

A back door was open at the school.
40 LEOs set up shop outside and had time to put up police tape to keep parents out while the massacre unfolded.

Set up?
Police on scene pin down a parent demanding they take action.
Who gave the order to stand down?
Here’s a report with a LEO saying the training is don’t wait around while innocent lives are lost - engage immediately.
So who had time to put up police tape and arrest parents trying to save their children?
The border patrol agent who stopped the shooter apparently went in solo to do so.
And look at the timeline.
He “emerges” from his truck after a chase, after shooting (not killing) is grandmother, with his rifles … yet LEOs “engage” him and allow him to enter a school??
90 minutes. They let him murder 20 kids while they stand around and put out police tape?

Notice after that “random shooting” a couple weeks ago a 700-page bill was already written and passed by the House a couple days later.
What proposed changes to our laws did they write up before letting this shooting happen?
Don't they know that the FIB has more important business such as tracking down "insurrectionists" and "white supremacists" and Trump supporters.
“LEOs encountered the shooter on the way to the school ...”
Where fid you hear or read this?
Was under the opposite impression, that nobody, including no LEOs, suspected anything wss amiss with the driver of the truck until he started shooting (which was only after he drove into a ditch and was subsequently approached by non-LEOs seeking to help him if he needed help).
“1st acknowledge the brave men and women of law enforcement,” not condolences to the family first. Also, the cops engaged the shooter before he entered the school, and they are still alive? Finally, cops went in and pulled their own kids out during the active shooter threat. WTF?

Archive everything.
But realize, it’s difficult to overcome a narrative regardless of the technical, tangible details. Emotions often castrate reason.

DPS Director Steve McGraw said twice that the cops were the ones who barricaded the shooter into a classroom.
That contradicts previous statements by other DPS spox, who said the gunman barricaded himself and immediately began shooting kids.

Sergeant Says Police Engaged Gunman Before He Entered Texas Elementary School – to No Avail
I do want to state that there were two different incidents. The first incident was involving the suspect at their grandmother’s residence where he shot the grandmother and then the grandmother was airlifted [to a hospital].
And the second incident that came in, was actually involving–they called it an epic crash and man with a firearm outside the school premises. There was several law enforcement that engaged the suspect, but he was able to make entry into the school where he did go into several classrooms and unfortunately, he did fire his firearm inside the school premises.
But then he was met with another tactical law enforcement agency which ultimately were able to bring him down… Unfortunately, there is confirmation right now that there is 18 deceased children – or students – and there’s two deceased adults.
They keep using the word ‘engaged’. Did they shoot at him or not? And if they did, why aren’t they saying so?
‘Engaged’ can be anything, including “hey, where ya going with that rifle?”
>> Unfortunately, there is confirmation right now that there is 18 deceased children
19 at least for 24 hours now. You must be on a backlog of info… unless the recent news has it wrong
Instead of blaming guns, let’s blame the problem...the mass closing of mental institutions in the 1980’s. How many mentally-deranged mass killings happened before the 80s? Nowadays, because of individual rights, if the mentally-deranged are taken care of at all, it’s by non-professionals (family), who can’t always make sure the patient takes his medications and is not a menace to society.
Much like emptying the prisons in the 1960s led to a great upsurge in violent crimes, closing down the “nervous hospitals” in the 1980’s has led to violent crimes committed by the mentally-deranged, as there is nothing keeping them from being a menace to society.
The guns used were tools...not the cause.
Would it have been less horrific had he instead plowed a car into a crowded school bus stop? Or thrown a flaming gas can that exploded inside of a packed school bus?
Many of these young people wouldn’t have been institutionalized yet; I’d agree if these were older perps, but the fact is these young people simply see no future for themselves. Frankly, they see no reason NOT to do this.
Oh, he watched violent video games?
Whodathunkit ???
Pictures of him in womens clothes. Wonder if he was on hormone blockers. Messing with a kids hormones when they are already raging is a bad idea. If he was then we won’t know. Kids being rapped because they are allowing boys in girls bathrooms. And they think this is ok. Being picked on because he is trans isn’t going to stop if the teachers are allowed to talk about it. Kids are cruel and they pick on other kids. Not going to stop. Was that way when I was young. Difference is the internet and social media. Used to be if your bullied in school then you get away from it when you went home. Now they go home and get online and people you don’t even know will bully and make comments through your social media pages. A lot of characters or people on reality show say that you shouldn’t read or pay attention to the negative comments. Captain keyboards can be brutal online. Many do it because they are bullied or odd so it’s a way they can be tough..
Subsequent info says that was NOT the killer dressed in women’s clothes.
Someone who knew him at the school said he was not bullied but was a bully. He hurt animals.
See my flashback story posted here. I believe he made a threat to do this four years ago. Local news reported on jt.
All the online outrage about assault weapons ignores what teen shooters really have in common — lots of time spent in violent, first person shooter gaming.
Maybe we need common sense video game and social media reforms.
That right there is mind blowing in today's environment.
