The Instagram user @epnupues, whose real name is unknown, shared the images of a conversation she had with the 18-year-old shooter Salvador Ramos, who wrote to her with the profile @salv_8dor_. The first interaction between the two was on May 12 and the exchange ended in the moments before the tragedy in Uvalde, United States.
Without knowing her yet, Ramos tagged her in a story showing the two AR-15 weapons with which she allegedly started the shooting at Robb Elementary School yesterday. “Are you going to post the gun photos I uploaded again?” he asked the girl, to which she replied, “What do your guns have to do with me?”
“I just wanted to tag you. You should be grateful, “said the young man. On Monday – one day before the massacre – Salvador contacted her again. “I’m about to…” the gunman wrote. “About what?”, the girl replied, who received the following response: “I’ll tell you before.”

Finally, on Tuesday at 7 am, the user received one last text from the shooter. “I will write to you in an hour, but you have to answer. It’s a little secret and I’m going to tell you. Now I’m going to go out for air, ”she wrote. Two hours later, Salvador carried out the crime at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
Shortly after the news gained national and international importance, the young woman clarified: “He was a stranger. I didn’t know anything about him. He decided to tag me in a photo of his guns. I feel sorry for the victims and their families. I really don’t know what to say.”

The only reason I answered him was because I was afraid of him.
He added, “The only reason I answered him was because I was afraid of him. I wish I had stayed awake to talk him out of committing that crime. I do not know. I already contacted the Police and gave them all the information I collected about it. I want to send my condolences to those who died today.”
The version of the authorities
As confirmed by the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, in a press conference, the young student from Uvalde High School entered the establishment and began shooting. “It is believed that he abandoned his vehicle and entered the primary school in Uvalde with a weapon and a rifle,” the Texas president said yesterday, after Ramos murdered 21 people: 19 students and two teachers.
“He shot and killed horribly, incomprehensibly,” the president said. Before the fact, the teenager would have also shot his grandmother.
