Showing Original Post only (View all)shooter bullied over poverty, appearance, clothing, called gay slurs, was aggressive towards women [View all]

While the motive for the massacre is not yet known, one neighbor told local news channel Newsy that he witnessed Ramos, who worked at a Wendy's, arguing with his grandmother, claiming he was 'angry that he did not graduate'.
He said the grandmother then screamed: 'He shot me, he shot me', before Ramos 'zoomed down the street' and crashed his car before embarking on his killing spree, which also counted two much-loved teachers, bringing the death toll to at least 21.
According to the Post, the shooting took place the day after his classmates had graduated. State police said his grandmother had died from her injuries.
Meanwhile, his Wendy's co-workers told the Daily Beast that he had an 'aggressive streak' and would send inappropriate messages to female employees. They also branded him 'quiet' and 'anti-social'.
One said: 'He would be very rude towards the girls sometimes, and one of the cooks, threatening them by asking, 'Do you know who I am?'
