The mother of Salvador Ramos, the 18-year-old who shot dead 19 young children and two teachers at an elementary school in the small town of Uvalde, Texas, this week has begged the public to “Forgive me, forgive my son.” 

Adriana Martinez looked distraught as she wept in her car, telling CNN affiliate Televisa, in Spanish: “I have no words to say, I don’t know what he was thinking.”
