School shooter allegedly threatened girls online prior to massacre at Robb Elementary

School shooter Salvador Ramos passed his talking to strangers online, allegedly carrying on conversations rife with threats and aggression, oftentimes aimed at young women and girls.

The troubling digital interactions primarily took place on Yubo, an app that features livestreaming alongside large chat rooms called panels. In the month’s before Ramos unleashed carnage inside classrooms at Robb Elementary School, the 18-year-old allegedly posted images of dead cats and quipped about sexual assault and violence, according to the Washington Post. He also shared photos of a rifle he claimed he was going to use to shoot up a school.

In one video from a live chatroom, recorded by other Yubo users, Ramos can allegedly be heard saying, “Everyone in this world deserves to get raped.”
