National news reports that the mother of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooter was arrested and faces accusations of threatening to kill the man she was living with.

Adriana Martinez Reyes, 40, was arrested in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Jan. 4, according to The New York Times. Local police were called to her home twice in one day. National news reports that a man at the residence told police that he and Reyes had had a “falling out.” He said that he was disabled and that “even though he loved her, he had grown afraid of her,” according to People.

The New York Times also cited court records in which Reyes told police that she was the mother of “the one that killed all of the children in the Uvalde, Texas, shooting.” Reyes’ son Salvador Ramos, 18, killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School on May 24 of last year. Immediately prior to the shooting, he also shot his grandmother, who survived.

  • Rethinking Campus Security From the Inside

    For decades, campus security strategies focused on keeping threats outside school walls. But since the tragedy at Columbine High School, data has shown that many attacks begin inside the building, often in classrooms and corridors. This shift has prompted schools to rethink security from the inside and place greater emphasis on interior elements such as classroom doors. This shift is evidenced by a new generation of classroom door systems engineered to delay inside intruders and an ASTM standard that raises the bar on how these systems must be designed to defend against attack.
