An exterior door at Robb Elementary School did not lock when it was closed by a teacher shortly before a gunman used it to get inside and kill 19 students and two teachers, leaving investigators searching to determine why, state police said Tuesday.
State police initially said a teacher had propped the door open shortly before Salvador Ramos, 18, entered the school in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24.
They have now determined that the teacher, who has not been identified, propped the door open with a rock, but then removed the rock and closed the door when she realized there was a shooter on campus, said Travis Considine, chief communications officer for the Texas Department of Public Safety. But, Considine said, the door that was designed to lock when shut did not lock.
“We did verify she closed the door. The door did not lock. We know that much and now investigators are looking into why it did not lock,” Considine said........

“We did verify she closed the door. The door did not lock..."
An unlocked door or a wide open door, it’s still negligent, or worse.
who is in charge of school security?
who checks that locking exterior doors actually lock?
did it break? did someone fix it so it wouldnt lock?
should have been someone on the other side of that door with a gun
Imagine how the MSM hive would play this if the politics was reversed.
Every day it’s a different story. I suppose that tomorrow we’ll be told there was no door at all.
I believe the kid had a key that belonged to his grandmother...and remember reading that it was the teacher's door...which makes sense since the parking lot is right there.
Oh, so they’re going to try to pin this on the lock manufacturer instead of the teacher. What a surprise.
If it never locked, she wouldn’t have needed to use a rock. But if it somehow just decided to not lock that one time, what’s up with that?
Btw what happened to the video evidence that apparently showed the door was still propped open when the shooter arrived at that door? It was mentioned in the past.
So the cops could have easily gotten in to save kids.
Bwawk bwawk bwawk...
Remember the lady with an Audi who ran over her kid due to “sudden acceleration”. Sometimes it is too difficult to assign fault.
Why wouod,they first say that the door was propped open if it wasn’t? You would think,they would,have said “the door was left unlocked”, not,thatnthe door was propped,open if it wasn’t. “Propped open” is very specific, and not something thatnis usually stated if it didn’t happen.
Seems to me that the teacher was under tremendous stress over the incident and came up,with the addition to her story later to take some heat off her maybe? To make it seem like “she tried to do the right thing, but dog gone it the rascal,y lock,mechanism broke that day”
Sounds a little like "I smoked, but I didn't inhale"
So, the teacher did NOT leave the door “propped open”, but did not close the door enough until it became locked.
Thanks to the enemedia for clarifying that nuance in their efforts to absolve everyone involved except the gun, the bullets, and the 2nd Amendment as the only things that are at fault.
It will go the way of the missing door at Waco.
It didn't lock because she didn't fully close the door. Partially closing the door is not closing the door.
Thank you.
Cowards, yes, but I believe it’s a different door.
Are we going to learn that the school safety officer is a ghost employee?
Perhaps, as at watergate, someone put tape over the latch. Only this time there was no guard to discover the tape as the perp removed it as he entered? Stranger and stranger as the “explanations” grow.
This doesn’t get her out of civil/criminal liability. If she broke policy/law by using that door, she’s in trouble.
