FORT WORTH, Texas — The 66-year-old grandmother of the man who killed 21 people at a Southwest Texas elementary school Tuesday is in stable condition after police said the gunman shot her in the face before going to the school.
The attacker, Salvador Ramos, killed 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Tuesday.
Before going to the school, the gunman posted on social media that he was going to kill his grandmother, Celia Martinez, then posted later that he’d shot her. Authorities said Martinez was taken to a hospital in San Antonio in critical condition, but announced at a Thursday news conference that she is in stable condition.
