Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) in a report criticized the police response to the shooting. Ramos, 18, was able to kill so many, the DOJ said, because of “cascading failures of leadership, decision-making, tactics, policies and training.”
“My son's spirit is in heaven,” Reyes said from his son's grave. “I also feel that his spirit is with me as well.”
“I think God has forgiven him for what he did,” she said. “The only people who are in hell are those who betray Jesus.”

“I know what my son did was a cowardly move,” she said. “'I've lost my son, I miss him and I love him so much. I don't know what went wrong or what he was thinking.'
“I'm not going to apologize to the community or the families, there's no need to,” Reyes said. “I didn't do anything to them.”

“It's not like he was abused or mistreated. Both of my kids got everything they needed or wanted,” she said. “I have no idea why she would do something as outrageous as that, I guess it just added to the anger.”
