Texas Shooter Mother Interview: Adriana M. Reyes Speaks Out

The mother of the 18-year-old gunman accused of killing at least 19 children and wounded others at an Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas has said in an interview that her son was not a monster, but that he could be aggressive.

Reyes’ son allegedly purchased two assault rifles in the days after he turned 18 and used them to carry out the second deadliest school shooting in US history all within eight days, according to authorities.

Reyes expressed her sympathy for the children who were killed and the parents who lost them multiple times during the interview but said she was not aware that her son had been buying the weapons.

“Those kids… I have no words, I don’t know what to say about those poor kids”. She said in tears.
