The 18-year-old had also shot his own grandmother before heading to the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
The grandmother's condition was not known yet, AP reports quoting officials.
Ramos had hinted on social media that an attack could be coming, the senator also claimed.
The senator noted that Ramos "suggested the kids should watch out," adds the AP report.
Investigators on the other hand, believe Ramos posted photos on Instagram of two guns he used in the shooting, and they were examining whether he made statements online alluding to the attack in the hours before the assault, AP reports quoting a law enforcement official.
