Then, at that point, he hustled away: “He turned out, I mean quick,” splashing rock in the air.
His grandma arose canvassed in blood: “She says, ‘Berto, this is the very thing he did. He shot me.'” She was hospitalized.

Specialists additionally shed no light on Ramos’ thought process in the assault, which likewise left somewhere around 17 individuals injured. Texas Gov.
