The suspected gunman who slaughtered 19 students and two teachers Tuesday at a Texas elementary school fired shots outside the school for 12 minutes before entering, an official said.
Eighteen-year-old Salvador Ramos spent approximately 12 minutes outside of Robb Elementary School firing shots before he walked into the school and barricaded himself in a classroom, Regional Director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, Victor Escalon, said Thursday, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
Escalon was unable to provide any answers Thursday as to why no one stopped Ramos from entering the school, the WSJ reported.

Run screaming, but not from their well-paid jobs or comfortable pensions. Sadly they are unlikely to be willing to be “replaced” without a big old fight.
Never ever expect the cops to save you or your family.

They didn’t have a battering ram?
They couldn’t just shoot the lock off?
It was an order to stand down that left little kids bleeding to death.
Now, who issued that order?
That’s the guy with blood on his hands.
Satan’s minions.
The same guy who is now refusing to cooperate with the Texas DPS investigation into his department’s conduct.
Arredondo is a despicable coward.
He won’t even come out to face the public.
How is he going to contribute to City Council...from his hidey-hole?
