A teen girl from Germany has been left to wonder whether she could have saved those killed by Salvador Ramos, who provided her several updates in the days and hours before he slaughtered 21 people inside Robb Elementary School in Texas.
The 15-year-old, identified only by her nickname, Cece, told the New York Times she connected with Ramos just more than two weeks ago on Yubo, an app that allows strangers all over the world to livestream with one another. They had several conversations through the platform and on social media, with topics ranging from his difficult family life to his intention to carry out a massacre.
“Maybe I could’ve changed the outcome,” she said, despite the thousands of miles separating her from the gun violence. “I just could never guess that he’d actually do this.”
