His family (mother) was poor, it's one of the reasons he was bullied at school.
He had a job and made his own money.

Ain’t buying the “bullied because he was poor” angle, at least half the kids in that town are poor. From news reports his grandparents own their own house and the shooter’s druggie mother’s house.

I got my doubts about “bullied for cross-dressing”, nowadays among the smartphone youth that could earn the guy hero status.

Whatever everything else was, the guy was just nuts.

News reports again the guy had worked fast food full time since February, prob’ly enough to buy his weapons. Grandfather said the 18yo didn’t have a driver’s license, not unusual around here if you didn’t have a vehicle as a teenager.

Shooter reportedly drove the grandmother’s truck to the scene.

One story going around here is that the exemplary Uvalde high school seniors visit the elementary schools this time of year as an example to the kids, this being why the shooter chose this particular time.
