The Texas House of Representatives committee report on the Robb Elementary School shooting revealed the accused school shooter exhibited many warning signs in the years, months and days leading up to the school shooting.

Private individuals were the only people who knew of the many warning signs he displayed, as he had no criminal history prior to the shooting. The alleged shooter's apparent motive was a "desire for notoriety and fame," according to the report.

The shooting itself took place in the accused shooter's former classroom. The suspect had discussed bad memories of fourth grade with an acquaintance just weeks before, according to the report.The suspect's fourth grade teacher told the committee she was aware he needed special help and that he claimed to be a victim of bullying.

By 2021, when he was 17-years-old, the alleged shooter had only completed ninth grade. He was involuntarily withdrawn from Uvalde High School in October 2021, citing poor academic performance and lack of attendance, according to the report. The alleged shooter's activity online was also concerning as he began to watch violent and gruesome videos and images of things like suicides, beheadings and accidents.

None of the suspect's online behavior was ever reported to law enforcement, and if it was reported by other users to any social media platform, it does not appear that actions were taken to restrict his access or to report him to authorities as a threat, according to the report.Red flag laws, or extreme protection orders, allow law enforcement or family members to ask a civil court to temporarily remove guns from a person who poses a risk to themselves or others.

Not surprising. The laws that everyone keeps describing are needed to keep us safe are only useful if the bureaucracy enforces them. Which they always fail to do in these tragedies. I support the second amendment.

JbarGarden Won’t don’t have a mental health crisis, we have Republicans defunding social services crisis.

Too bad he didn’t have a family member to give af about his future. Sounds like no parenting was present.

So why was he able to get guns

SO OBVIOUSLY KNOWN.....IT'S SO RIDICULOUS WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO CONCEAL THESE TRUTHS. THE CHARGES AND ARREST OF THE MOTHER AND UNCLE IS IMPEARATIVE SCHOOL OFFICIALS

Nothing in Uvalde was right. Not one thing.

They almost all show those signs , sadly the people who who were close to them either didn’t see it or ignored it .
