The Uvalde killer fired his gun outside the school for twelve minutes before entering the school where he killed two teachers and 19 children in a fourth-grade classroom.
Victor Escalon, a regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said he couldn’t say why no one stopped the now deceased gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos.
Most of the shots were fired in the first few minutes upon entering the school.
THE STORY
Ramos shot his grandmother Tuesday morning and then used her truck to drive to Robb Elementary School, crashing the truck into a nearby ditch at 11:28 a.m., according to the timeline laid out by Mr. Escalon.
The gunman then began shooting at people at a funeral home across the street, prompting a 911 call reporting a gunman at the school at 11:30. Ramos then climbed a fence onto school grounds and began firing before walking inside, unimpeded, at 11:40. The first police arrived on the scene at 11:44 and exchanged gunfire with Ramos, who barricaded himself in a fourth-grade classroom. There, he killed the students and teachers.
It took an hour for the tactical team to arrive at the school.
Escalon said the first officers on the scene entered the building, came under fire, and backed to a safe location where they requested backup and ushered staff and students into other rooms. The Border Patrol Tactical team that ultimately killed the shooter arrived an hour after this initial engagement, the director said.
“Officers were calling for additional resources. Tactical teams. We needed specialty equipment…body armor…sharpshooters…negotiators,” Escalon said. “It’s a complex situation.”
We reported earlier that an officer found out his daughter was dead from her friend. But it was not an officer, it was a medical aide. His name is Angel Garza and his daughter Amerie — his “baby” — was murdered.

Chicken sheet cops should just kill themselves

What If?
What if this was a CIA or FBI op to aid in the leftist/NWO objective to take guns from true Americans at the behest of the WEF elites?
What if this kid was primed and set up to commit this atrocity?
What if his past record was whitewashed to facilitate the purchase of two semi-auto rifles?
Worse yet. What if this was only the next chapter in a planned long list of mass killings to challenge the second amendment?
What if our MSM never prints the true agenda of the obscene regime that is systematically destroying America?
Does anyone think that the lives of a few hundred or a few thousand citizens, including kids matter to Obama, Soros, Schwab, Wray, Pelosi, Rice, Garland or others of the ‘elite’ deep state?
Remember, they plan to euthanize 7 billion human beings to facilitate their New World Order, why would they care about however many lives are lost in their quest for the “Perfect World”?
Yeah, what if?
What if many ‘official people’ knew this was coming, but did not know how dastardly it was to be? There is going to be a whole lot of lying and finger pointing going on in the near future. There is no damn way that any police force, anywhere would be this callous in these circumstances without some bad information holding them back,
This is another example of disgraceful behavior by law enforcement and the officials in charge. It is similar to Parkland, in which onsite enforcement cowered, and arriving enforcement stayed outside like spectators. There will be no real investigation of the oath violations.
How embarrassing, that Border Patrol stepped in an hour later. Note that our embarrassment of a nation will not allow Border Patrol to protect the nation.
If only the teachers had carried a gun that day …!
