The 18-year-old who law enforcement officials say gunned down 19 children and two teachers in an elementary school in Texas talked with people online about buying a gun and hinted that something big was going to happen on the day the shooting occurred, an official said on May 27.

Salvador Ramos, the shooting suspect, was part of a four-person group chat on Instagram on Feb. 28 in which it was discussed that Ramos “was being a school shooter,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw told reporters in a briefing.
