Well after an hour at least 19 officers showed up and many were not from the 40 member police force? Wonder what the mayor has to say about this? Seems like there is a cover up going on. It’s been a week and they still can not say what officers where at the school and what they did? Sure!

After an armed gunman went inside Robb Elementary, Pete Arredondo, chief of police for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, made the call to wait for backup before officers went in to confront the gunman — something Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw admitted was “the wrong decision, period.” Inside the school, the gunman killed 19 students and two teachers and injured 17 others.

Oh look we finally get a name of the guy who made the decision. You think with a title like chief of police for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District he would have a master key for all the schools? How does he not have a master key?

Lawyer: Uvalde teacher did not leave door open that gunman used to enter Robb Elementary School

An employee at Robb Elementary School had propped open a door to carry food from a car to the classroom last Tuesday, but closed it shut after realizing that a gunman was loose and heading toward the school, her San Antonio lawyer said.

Don Flanary said the school employee, who is not being identified out of safety concerns, called 911 to report an accident near the school involving a black truck, which turned out to be driven by gunman Salvador Ramos, 18.
....
McCraw told reporters on Friday that the employee propped open the door about the time the gunman crashed the truck, and that the employee called 911. But Flanary said he wants to make clear that the door was not left propped open.

“She saw the wreck,” Flanary said. “She ran back inside to get her phone to report the accident. She came back out while on the phone with 911. The men at the funeral home yelled, ‘He has a gun!’ She saw him jump the fence, and he had a gun so she ran back inside.

“She kicked the rock away when she went back in. She remembers pulling the door closed while telling 911 that he was shooting. She thought the door would lock because that door is always supposed to be locked.”

Messages were left Tuesday seeking comment from the Texas Department of Public Safety.

A law enforcement source familiar with the investigation said surveillance video and audio verifies the employee removed the rock holding the door open and closed it.

“She slammed it shut,” said the source, who requested anonymity because the source does not have authority to speak with the media.

Both Flanary and the source said a person exiting through the door might not be able to tell if it was locked.

The source said investigators are trying to determine if the door was unlocked earlier or if its lock was not working because the gunman used the same door to get into the school, go down the hallways and into adjacent rooms 111 and 112. The rooms were full of fourth-graders, where he took advantage of a delayed police response and shot and killed his victims.

The source said at least one other school employee has reported to federal agents and DPS that at least one other door in the building did not lock, so investigators are looking into that report. Investigators also have received reports that another entry/exit door into the building was open during school hours, the source said.

Those damn "propped-open doors"... and "criminals".... and "mental health."

Keep Assault Weapons widely available to anyone who wants one. That's the answer.

For the looney door propped open obsessed posters.

If this is true, and the law enforcement source seems to verify it is, then what the DPS Director said was totally reprehensible.

This does not make sense. There was an awards ceremony in the am. It really does not fit the time line.

Whoever made up this story likely forgot that. Give them some time to make up another one now. No matter how you cut it, the police failed this community greatly.

What’s the best time to case a school you intend to shoot up? When there is a crowd and nobody is looking at you. You can be someone’s brother.

If it comes out that they were on a "team building" junket there will be hell to pay.

Nearest one is over an hour away in San Antonio. How do you NOT know this?

From what I understand there are multiple radio communication channels.
