The grandmother of Texas school shooting suspect Salvador Ramos was upgraded to a “fair state” Sunday afternoon, San Antonio University Health said.
Ramos is accused of shooting his grandmother in the face shortly before noon Tuesday and then driving his truck to Robb Elementary School and opening fire, killing 19 children and two adults.
The 66-year-old woman was initially in critical condition on Tuesday, but was in serious condition all week before being updated at the fair on Sunday.
Two other victims of the shooting, a 10-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl, who is being cared for by Sanitat Universitaria, were reported in serious condition and in good condition on Sunday, respectively. Another 10-year-old girl was discharged from hospital on Friday.

Ramos’ grandfather, Rolando Reyes, told Fox News Digital on Thursday that his wife was awake but unable to speak after being operated on Wednesday.
The suspect’s grandmother was able to cross the street to a neighbor’s house and call 911 before being flown to San Antonio for treatment, said Texas Department of Homeland Security director Steven McCraw.
Miguel Zamora, a Border Patrol mechanic who lives a block away from Ramos’ grandparents, told Fox News Digital he was home during the lunch break when he saw the truck Ramos was driving down his quiet street at 50 or 60 miles per cent. hour, followed minutes later by the sound of a loud car crash and a hail of gunfire.

About 30 minutes before the shooting, Ramos sent a series of online messages saying, “I’m going to shoot my grandmother,” “I shot my grandmother,” and, “I’m going to shoot an elementary school.”

Ramos had moved in with his grandparents in March and bought two AR-15-style rifles in May, just days after his 18th birthday.
A Border Patrol officer shot and killed Ramos after officers entered the classroom where he was, although law enforcement has been scrutinized for not removing the previously killed mass.
