The grandmother of accused Uvalde, Texas school shooter Salvador Ramos has returned home from the hospital — more than one month after she was shot in the face by the gunman.

Celia Gonzalez, 66, raced outside her home while doused in blood after her grandson opened fire on May 24 before driving to Robb Elementary School armed with an AR 15-style rifle.

“Look at what he did to me!” she screamed, according to one neighbour as reported by the New York Post.

Ramos, 18, was fatally shot by law enforcement officers after committing one of the worst school mass shootings in the nation’s history.

Authorities said he drove to the school after shooting his grandmother, crashed his pick-up truck into a ditch outside, and ran in armed with the assault rifle.
