BREAKING: Police 'believed no children were at risk' and stayed outside in Texas shooting.
Nineteen police officers stood outside the Texas elementary school as a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, and waited an hour to break through a lockd door after an incident commander believed no more lives were at risk.
Frantic 911 calls from children locked inside the classroom with the gunman, however, said otherwise, officials in Texas admitted on Friday. ‘With the benefit of hindsight, where I’m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision,’ said Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.At least two children called 911 from inside the fourth grade classroom at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, McCraw said. Both of the students who are known to have called for help survived..’ She covered herself in a dead friend’s blood in order to appear dead to the gunman.
Because of this, the commander believed there was time to retrieve keys to the classroom door from a janitor, and for the Border Patrol tactical team to arrive and enter the classroom behind shields.Get your need-to-know latest news, feel-good stories, analysis and more
