Despite what the Uvalde police have claimed, namely that the door was locked to the school room which harbored the gunman, newly released security footage shows three officers in tactical equipment waiting outside in the hallway. No one tried the door to the classroom.
As the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety just stated, the commander at the scene of the shooting delayed confronting the gunman because he “waited for a key that was never needed.
“We see that there (are) officers with adequate munitions, adequate equipment to be able to breach that room,” he said. “i just don’t understand why that didn’t happen, why they didn’t breach the room.“Those answers need to be had. They shouldn’t be dribbling through the media in this way. We should have law enforcement agencies tell us exactly what went wrong. And the fact that we’re not getting that information is just a travesty in and of itself.”
“They let our kids down, left them in there scared and, who knows, crying. They abandoned them,” Flores cried.“They’re supposed to be trained professionals,” Flores said of the police. “I don’t understand the reason why they stood back that long for them to go back in … Standing back a whole hour, leaving them inside with that gunman, is not right. It’s cowardly, cowardly, cowardly stuff.”
