BREAKING: The gunman who killed 19 children and 2 teachers at a Texas elementary school was able to enter without any confrontation, authorities said on Thursday, contradicting earlier reports that a police officer engaged him outside the building. MORE:
and shot the gunman to death, frustrated onlookers urged police officers to charge into the school, according to witnesses.
But a department spokesman said Thursday that authorities were still working to clarify the timeline of the attack, uncertain whether that period of 40 minutes to an hour began when the gunman reached the school, or earlier, when he shot his grandmother at home. "What we wanted to make sure is to act quickly, act swiftly, and that's exactly what those agents did," Ortiz told Fox News.But a law enforcement official said that once in the building, the Border Patrol agents had trouble breaching the classroom door and had to get a staff member to open the room with a key. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk publicly about the investigation.
Upset that police were not moving in, he raised the idea of charging into the school with several other bystanders. Olivarez told CNN that the school security officer outside was armed and that initial reports said he and Ramos exchanged gunfire, "but right now we’re trying to corroborate that information."
Ramos' grandmother emerged covered in blood: "She says, ‘Berto, this is what he did. He shot me.’" She was hospitalized.
