Tuesday, May 24 at the end of the morning, Salvador Ramos, aged 18, announces “on Facebook” that he will “shoot” his grandmother, with whom he lives. Touched in the face, the 66-year-old woman can nevertheless alert the police. She will be transported in critical condition to University Health Hospital in San Antonio. The young man flees with his grandmother’s pick-up. On Facebook, he also announces that he will attack “a primary school”. The massacre will kill 19 children, and two teachers. On May 17, the day after his 18th birthday, the shooter had purchased a semi-automatic rifle, then ammunition, and another automatic rifle on May 20 from the same Uvalde armory. This tragedy has revived the controversy over the control of the carrying of weapons in the United States.
