The man who officials say carried out the massacre at an elementary school in Texas in May asked relatives to buy him weapons before he turned 18, according to a new investigative report.

“Various members of the attacker’s family were aware during the time leading up to the attacker’s 18th birthday that he was estranged from his mother and that he had asked for help in buying guns through straw purchases that would have been illegal. Family members uniformly refused to buy guns for him,” stated the report released by the Texas House Investigative Committee on the Robb Elementary Shooting.
