I’m not sure who to believe on the timeline, or whether the police immediately entered the school or staged outside for several minutes, but here is an alternate view of the timeline from what you have, that shows about 10 - 11 minutes from first call to engage from PD:
9:30:00 AM: Classes begin at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
9:35:53 AM: First known dispatch call - 911 Dispatch: “Sandy Hook School, Caller’s indicated she thinks someone is shooting in the building.”
9:36:15 AM: Shooting continues - Dispatch: “The individual I have on the phone is continuing to hear what he believes to be gun shots.”
9:38:10 AM: Pause in shooting - “The shooting appears to have stopped. The school is in lock down.”
9:38:50 AM: Police call for SWAT team - “We’ll stage up the SWAT and go from there.”
9:40:30 AM: Reports of shots fired - “Shooter’s apparently still shooting in office area. Dickerson Drive.”
9:40:55 AM: Connecticut State Police receive call and begin sending emergency units from western part of the state - “Troop 8 personnel, take Exit 10, left on 34, turn on Riverside Drive. Make sure you have your vests on.”
9:43:45 AM: Female confirmed shot - Dispatch: “We have one female in Room 1 who has gunshot wound to the foot.”
~9:45 AM: First responders/SWAT team arrive - begin an “active shooter search, checking every door, crack and crevice.”
9:46:20 AM: Another report of person shot - Dispatch: “We’ve got an injured person in Room 9 with numerous gunshot wounds.”
9:49:05 AM: Shooting finally stops approximately around 9:46 AM - “Negative on description. Shots were fired about three minutes ago.”
9:53:25 AM: Suspect reported down - “Newtown’s reporting one suspect down. The Building has now been cleared.”
9:55:25 AM: Weapons report - “Be advised, we have multiple weapons. One rifle and a shotgun.”
9:57:25 AM: Police notice to officers responding to call in plain clothes - “Any plain clothes responding, make sure you have you raid gear on, your raid gear on.”
10:00:15 AM: Police complete search for any other potential suspects - “Ask the custodian, get a team up on the roof and clear the roof.”
9:55:25 AM: Weapons report - “Be advised, we have multiple weapons. One rifle and a shotgun.”
The police complete the search at 10 but the nurse and secretary were in the closet for 3 1/2 hours that? All the kids were safe and accounted for? And they were able to determine without a doubt there were no other suspects anywhere on campus not even one hiding in a nurse's closet? The police asked the custodian to help clear the roof? Wow, give that custodian a raise and a new title with his elevated duties. All of that was accomplished within 15 minutes? Really???

Remember back in September when so many universities had bomb threats? Remember how fast the campuses were searched and declared safe? From link to Univ. of Texas in Austin bomb threat:
8:35am: UT received a phone call from a man who claimed he was affiliated with al-Qaeda and that he had placed bombs throughout the school’s campus that would go off in 90 minutes.
9:53am: UT sent a text alert to students, faculty, and staff, urging them to evacuate all buildings on campus.
10:25am: The university announced via its Twitter account that all buildings were being checked and cleared...
11:38am Latest from UT. Classes are canceled for today, but buildings will re-open at noon, and all other campus activities will resume at 5pm.
12:11pm Powers now holding press conference... working with city, state and federal authorities, and have now determined that they are “extremely confident that the campus is safe.”
The UT campus is HUGE, yet it only took 2-3 hours for LE to search all the nooks and crannies to determine it safe??? I saw the ongoing coverage that day and students were standing around the stadium and soccer field right by the campus security building but no LE told them to move out of the area. The road is a “T” with the stadium, field and security building all at the intersection.
If the the bomb was going to go off in 90 minutes, why wait until 12 minutes of the big BOOM! before sending out a text to evacuate?
I was yelling at the tv that day because none of it made any sense. There was a rash of threats for several days back then and everyone chalked it up to copy cats. However, with all lies surrounding CT, I’m betting these were set ups or whatever. They certainly weren’t bonafide training drills or the real thing because the evacuation would have been more immediate and it would have taken LE days to declare the campus safe. Sure, get the sheeple in a tizzy over all these faked incidents and they’ll be begging the government to take their guns away from them.
