After Salvador Ramos who was 18 years old shot dead 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde in Texas, USA on Tuesday morning, his mother Adriana Martinez requested forgiveness in an interview on Friday.
Speaking to the television with tears in his eyes, he said, “I’m sorry, forgive my child. I know he has a reason to do what he is doing. Please don’t judge him. I just want innocent children who died to forgive me. “
When asked what reasons he could have, he was quoted said by the guardian, “To be closer to the children instead of paying attention to other bad things, I have no words. I don’t know.”
Should Kill Me’: Father
In a separate interview with The Daily Beast, the armed man said, “I just want people to know I apologize, friends, [for] what my child did. I never expected my child to do something like that. He should only kill me, you know, instead of doing something like that to someone. “
Ramos’s 42 -year -old father was working when his son stormed Robb’s elementary school on Tuesday morning. When his mother called him to tell him what happened, the first thing he did was call a local prison to find out if his son was there. However, he was told that “They killed my baby, friend”.
His father said, “I will never see my son again, just like they will not see their children. And that hurts me. “
‘Will report it’: grandfather
Before invading to elementary school on Tuesday morning, Salvador Ramos shot his grandmother, hurting him brutally.
Speaking to reporters, Grandfather Ramos Rolando Reyes said the boy lived with them after he had problems with his mother and dropped out of school.
He said he was not at home when Ramos shot his wife. “Maybe if I was there, he might also kill me,” Reyes said.
I don’t like weapons I can’t be around the weapon. I oppose everything I will report it, “he added.
He said, “I am very sorry I have a lot of pain for everyone because many of the children [killed] are my friends’ grandchildren, and I feel bad for all family.”
