‘My son was a coward,’ Uvalde shooter’s mom says while apologizing to victim’s family

Relatives of one of the children killed in the Uvalde school shooting confronted the killer’s mother on Tuesday — a tense and heartbreaking scene that ultimately ended with the mother apologizing through tears for her son’s actions.

The confrontation took place after a meeting of some of the relatives of the 19 children and two teachers who were killed at Robb Elementary School on May 24, according to Telemundo, whose cameras caught the encounter.

The video shows Adriana Martinez, the mother of the 18-year-old shooter, Salvador Ramos, walking across a street in Uvalde. An SUV carrying several people, who Telemundo identified as members of Uvalde victim Amerie Jo Garza’s family, stops in the street, and family members get out to confront Martinez. It’s not clear whether Martinez was attending the same meeting as the victims’ families.
