The shooter says: “Just wanted to tag you.”

Reports suggest 11.32am is the time the shooter began storming in on the local elementary school.

He even said to the girl before he opened fire that “you HAVE TO RESPOND. I got a lil secret. I wanna tell u”

The girl took to her instagram story saying “I wish I stayed awake to at least try to convince him to not commit his crime I didn’t know… I don’t know him and I don’t even live in Texas.”
