The gunman in Tuesday’s elementary school massacre was a lonely 18-year-old who was bullied over a childhood speech impediment, suffered from a fraught home life and lashed out violently against peers and strangers recently and over the years, friends and relatives said.

And in the days after his May 16 birthday, he legally bought the weapons and ammunition he’d use to wage war on grade-schoolers in Uvalde, Tex.
