More information will hopefully be forthcoming, as there is some confusion on this point:
“The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed a school police officer exchanged gunfire with the suspected shooter who unleashed fatal gunfire at Robb Elementary in Uvalde.

Other questions that will hopefully be answered:
1) How did the shooter gain access to the building (via locked door, unlocked door, etc.)?
2) Did the school make use of any materials at entry control points such as thin film laminates, bullet resistant glass, etc?
Early reports were that he jumped a fence while fleeing and entered an unlocked door. No reports that the school employed any hardened elements in its construction or policy.
Those, of course, are early reports and may ultimately bear no resemblance to the reality on the ground.
