The gunman, who carried out a shooting rampage in a Texas elementary school Tuesday, left his mother's home two months ago following a fight over wifi disconnection, according to the mother's boyfriend. Juan Alvarez, 62, who has been in a relationship with Salvador Rolando Ramos' mother for about a year spoke out about his understanding of the shooter.

Alvarez said that Ramos was a loner who kept to himself and avoided any kind of conversation with anyone. He also said that Ramos had a tumultuous relationship with his mother, which often included fights. Two months before the horrific crime he committed, Ramos left his mother's home and went to live with his grandmother whom he shot on Tuesday before heading to the Uvalde school, Yahoo News reported.

Ramos was killed by an off-duty agent with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol Tactical Unit and two law enforcement officers, authorities said.

“He was kind of a weird one. I never got along with him. I never socialized with him. He doesn’t talk to nobody,” Alvarez said. “When you try to talk to him he’d just sit there and walk away.”

Alvarez said that Ramos had been acting aloof for a while but he did not expect the teenager would carry out the horrific crime.

“It’s wrong, man, it’s pretty bad. I feel sorry for the kids that died,” Alvarez said. Nineteen kids and two adults were killed in the shooting incident Tuesday. Ramos' grandmother was also hospitalized with serious gunshot wounds after being shot by her grandson. Ramos’ mother, Adriana Reyes, on Wednesday, went to San Antonio to visit her mother.

Reyes reportedly said that she didn't see the shooting coming. “I’m very upset about everything,” Reyes, 39, said by phone to Yahoo News. “A lot of stuff has happened, but right now, I don’t feel good.”

Rolando Reyes, Ramos’ grandfather, who lived in the home with Ramos and his grandmother, said he was not aware his grandson had guns in the house, according to an interview conducted by ABC.

Rolando said that he spoke to his grandson daily and that he “didn’t expect this” from Ramos.
