'Look at what we have here': Salvador Ramos' CHILLING last words before opening fire
UVALDE, TEXAS: Texas school shooter Salvador Ramos reportedly stalked Robb Elementary School until he found a classroom door that was unlocked. Before opening fire, the evil gunman snarled, "look at what we have here." Inside a locked classroom, students hid under their desks. They heard Ramos, 18, fire a shot into the room and check the door handle. He then went down the hall to murder 19 children and two teachers.
“My daughter says she heard the gunman enter her building … trying to get into a couple of classrooms including hers by grabbing the door knob but was unsuccessful,” the mother of a student told New York Post. "Then she said, ‘I heard him say, ‘Well look at what we have here’ and the door slammed and [she] heard the gun fire erupt.”

Ramos then went on to barricade himself inside a classroom and salughter the children and teachers. The mother said that her daughter's teacher rushed children “underneath a big desk, locked the door [and] shut off the lights” after hearing Ramos kill two people outside. The teacher tried to hurriedly close the window blinds, but gunfire “shattered her glasses," the mom explained. The terrified students hid underneath the desks until help finally arrived.
“[My daughter’s] legs had fallen asleep along with another young girl,” the mom said. “Border Patrol had to carry her to safety because her legs were asleep and couldn’t run.” “She was the 6th one out, the shooter I believe was still active during that time,” she added. The mom claimed that Border Patrol agents saved more children than the police could. The police have been accused of not entering the school fast enough. “There was a ton of law enforcement standing outside the perimeter but border patrol agents were the ones getting these kids out,” she said.
A student survivor also recalled how the deranged killer played sad music while slaughtering the teachers and children. Miah Cerrillo, an 11-year-old survivor who smeared herslef with her slain friend's blood to play dead, said that her fourth-grade class had just finished watching the Disney movie 'Lilo & Stitch' when their two teachers learnt there was an active shooter inside the school.
One of the teachers frantically rushed to the door to close it, but Ramos was already there. Cerrillo recalled how Ramos backed the teacher into the classroom, made eye contact with her and gunned her down, saying, "good night". Two teachers, Irma Garcia, 46, and Eva Mireles, 44, were killed in the attack but the student did not reveal which of them she was referring to. As Ramos went on with his rampage, Cerrillo said she heard him playing loud, sad music. She described it to CNN as “I want people to die” music.
Ramos was shot dead by a hero off-duty Customs and Border Protection agent from an elite tactical unit. The agent killed Ramos before his evil rampage could claim more lives. Police officials from the Texas Department of Public Safety, US Customs and Border Protection, and various other local agencies responded to the deadly shooting in the small town located about 60 miles east of the Mexico border on Tuesday, May 24. The agent, a member of CBP’s Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC), rushed to the school while Ramos was still actively carrying out the massacre. The agent began exchanging rounds with the gunman, who was reportedly barricaded inside a fourth-grade classroom. Law enforcement told NBC that the officer was injured in the attack, but managed to kill the shooter before more innocent lives were taken.
