On Friday, the mom of the Texas school gunman who killed 19 students and two instructors appealed with victims to forgive her, forgive her son.
Adriana Martinez, the mother of disturbed 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos, sobbed in her car, insisting she had no clue what had caused her son to crack but she acknowledged that he must have had his “reasons.”
Martinez explained that she didn’t know what he was thinking. He had his reasons for acting the way he did. Please don’t pass judgment on him. All she wants is for the innocent kids who perished to forgive her.
In her words, “Please forgive me, please forgive my son. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
When asked what “reasons” he could have had, she answered, to become closer to those youngsters rather than focusing to the other awful things.
On Tuesday, Ramos, 18, killed 21 individuals with a semi-automatic weapon at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. At least 17 people were hurt, including his grandmother, who was shot in the face.
Martinez, who was photographed praying on the porch of her parents’ Uvalde house previously stated that Ramos was “not a violent guy” but could become “aggressive” when enraged.
According to her father, the kid was living with him and his wife since he “had troubles” with his mother.
Martinez was spotted outside her Uvalde house on Friday, with multiple “NO TRESPASSING” signs on the gates leading up to the driveway.
Martinez had lived with a guy at the residence for years, according to a neighbor, but he wasn’t sure if it was the teen’s dad or just a partner.
Ramos’ grandparents, on the other hand, were always present, according to the neighbor.

He said that the grandfather is a really industrious man, and it’s unfortunate that some people blame him for what occurred. Grandma was always cleaning the yard and mending things. She recently finished building a little cottage on the site a few months ago. It’s not fair that some people are attacking them.
As he described Tuesday’s horror, the neighbor gulped back tears looking at his own small boy.
He continued he rather Uvalde be unknown and this did not occur. This small community is making headlines everywhere. His community is becoming viral, but for all the wrong reasons.
Ramos’ father, who has the same name, has also stepped out, apologizing for what his son has done.
He said that he never anticipated his son to do anything like that. He should’ve simply murdered him rather than doing anything like that to somebody.
The father informed that he has been absent from his son’s life recently owing to his employment away from Uvalde.
He also stated that he had been away from his son due to the pandemic because he did not want to subject his cancer-stricken mother to the virus. The Pandemic limitations affected their connection, and his kid stopped talking to him about a month ago.
He said that the two had not seen each other since.
Nonetheless, the elder Ramos stated that his son “was a wonderful person,” claiming that he dropped out of high school as he was ridiculed because of his clothing.
The father explained that he was a quiet man who kept to himself. He didn’t annoy anyone. Everyone was bothering him.
