The gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, gave off so many warning signs that he was obsessed with violence and notoriety in the months before the attack that students began calling him “school shooter”, a report has revealed.

Salvador Ramos, 18, was once bullied in one of the same classrooms where the attack took place, according the interim report released by an investigative panel of the Texas House of Representatives.
