Uvalde school district assured parents students were safe, building was 'secure' minutes after gunman entered

A Facebook post by Robb Elementary as the Uvalde school shooting was unfolding insisted to parents that "students and staff are safe in the building," despite gunman Salvador Ramos entering minutes earlier.

The message, attributed to Anne Marie Espinoza, executive director of communications and marketing at the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, instructed the community at 11:43 a.m. local time May 24 that "Robb Elementary is under a Lockdown status."

"Robb Elementary Parents: Please know at this time Robb Elementary is under a Lockdown Status due to gunshots in the area," the message said.

"The students and staff are safe in the building. The building is secure in a Lockdown Status," it continued. "Your cooperation is needed at this time by not visiting the campus. As soon as the Lockdown Status is lifted you will be notified."

Investigators later revealed that Salvador Ramos, the 18-year-old shooter who killed 19 students and two teachers in the attack, had entered the school at 11:33 a.m., 10 minutes before the Facebook post.

At 12:06 p.m., the school again wrote that "the students and staff are safe in the buildings."

“All is well! Remain calm!”

Above all else, government will NEVER admit that it doesn’t have everything under control.

Your kids don’t belong to you, they belong to us. You’re a domestic terrorist if you question us.

I’m not so good or wonderful, I’ve got flaws! How come I’m a normal person and they’re not?

... "the students and staff are safe in the buildings."

All except the 21 dead ones.
They are only 'mostly safe'.

It seems that every level of government in the US is irretrievably broken.

It's by design.

Apparently the door to the classroom where the 19 children and two teachers were massacred was not locked, perhaps the result of chaos and panic.

The door was designed to automatically close and lock so it could not be opened from the outside. A teacher propped the door open, saw the shooter coming, and ran back inside, leaving the door propped open.

No security measures can overcome stupidity.

No, but loud alarms and flashing lights would help.

Perhaps Anne Marie Espinoza, executive director of communications and marketing (why would a public school have such a position?) can let us all know the answer to a few questions:

When did the lockdown of Robb Elementary occur?
How was the lockdown of Robb communicated to the school?
Who made the lockdown announcement?
Why wasn’t the school, in fact, ‘locked down’? The back door? Rooms 110/111?
