When asked by a reporter what Martinez would tell the families who have lost loved ones, she replied: “
Forgive me, forgive my son. I know he had his reasons.”
“What reasons could he have had?” the reporter followed up.
Martinez said, weeping: “
To get closer to those children instead of paying attention to the other bad things, I have no words. I don’t know.”
The gunman’s father, also called Salvador Ramos, said, in a separate interview with the Daily Beast: “I just want the people to know I’m sorry, man, [for] what my son did.
“I never expected my son to do something like that,” he said, adding: “He should’ve just killed me, you know, instead of doing something like that to someone.”
He began calling the local jail to ask if his son was there but soon realized that “
they killed my baby, man.”
He added: “
I’m never going to see my son again, just like they’re not going to see their kids. And that hurts me.”
