FAMILY HAD 'NO IDEA'
Reyes, 74, said the family had no idea that Ramos, 18, had purchased weapons in the days leading up to the attack.
Ramos' grandfather also said that his grandson was a "quiet teenager" who often spent time alone in his bedroom.
"I didn't know he had weapons. If I had known, I would have reported it," Rolando Reyes told
Ramos' grandfather said that this past year, the teen "didn't go to school" and did not graduate.
"You would try to tell him, but kids nowadays, they think they know everything.
"He was very quiet; he didn't talk very much," Rolando Reyes said.
He added that Ramos had come to live with his grandparents after constantly getting into arguments with his mother.
'MY SON WASN'T A VIOLENT PERSON'
Adriana Reyes, daughter of Gonzales and mother to Ramos, said she was "surprised" to learn her son was involved in the horrific shooting.
"My son wasn't a violent person. I'm surprised by what he did," she told
"I pray for those families. I'm praying for all of those innocent children; yes I am. They [the children] had no part in this."
Reports indicate Ramos had been living with his grandparents after moving out of his mother's home.
But Adriana Reyes struck down rumors that she and her son had a toxic relationship, saying: "I had a good relationship with him. He kept to himself; he didn't have many friends."
