— Frustrated onlookers urged police officers to charge into the Texas elementary school where a gunman’s rampage killed 19 children and two teachers, witnesses said Wednesday, as investigators worked to track the massacre that lasted upwards of 40 minutes and ended when the 18-year-old shooter was killed by a Border Patrol team.
“Go in there! Go in there!” nearby women shouted at the officers soon after the attack began, said Juan Carranza, 24, who saw the scene from outside his house, across the street from Robb Elementary School in the close-knit town of Uvalde. Carranza said the officers did not go in.

Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw said 40 minutes to an hour elapsed from when Ramos opened fire on the school security officer and when the SWAT-like Border Patrol team shot him. But a department spokesman said later in the day that they could not give a solid estimate of how long the gunman was in the school or when he was killed.

Proving what General Douglas MacArthur once said, “You’re not remembered for the rules you keep but the one’s you break’’.
FBI was warned in advance.
Yet he’s allowed to buy two $2000 rifles and $700 optics? Where’d he get the money for that and the $60,000 truck?
What meds was he on?
Smells like a set up to change the subject off inflation.
I have many close family members in law enforcement. I am disgusted with officers who wait outside while women and children are being slaughtered. It happened in the Cheshire Ct murders too. The officers waited outside the house while the mother and two daughters were raped and burned alive. Those same cops were well known for giving people petty tickets for even minor motor vehicle violations.
Leftist democrats disarm the law abiding through gun free zones then the police form a perimeter around the gun free zone to protect the murderer from being confronted and killed by the law abiding but armed civilian.
And people want me to back the blue?
Did the officers hide to protect their hides?
It is because the type of people who join the police now-a-days are not good people.
I’m surprised parents did not go in either. And I agree with you we don’t know all the details. Just tragic is what we do know. So very sad.
Coward cops.....disgusting ....strapped and they stood their like pussies for 40 minutes while parents begged

BP group. Probably BORSTAR.

Becoming clearer now. Shot Nona in the face then stole her truck.

“After shooting his grandmother, the gunman fled in her truck as she called police, Abbott said”
“How did the shooter get in the school?”
A door normally locked wasn’t. Certainly there are more than one exit. Gee what are the odds the prep goes right to the one that is unlocked? Almost like there was some inside help. At a minimum some Janitor / Maintenance guy will have a living hell existence with his screw up.
More details.
Looks like he traded fire with and wounded the first three responding officer’s.
“The attacker encountered a school police officer and shot and injured him before heading inside, officials said. When two Uvalde police officers showed up and tried to get inside, Considine said, they exchanged gunfire with the attacker and were both wounded.”

It’ll be interesting to see if any of the victims’ families file civil suits.
It appears families in Buffalo have been paid to shut up and go away.
Bet it happens here, too.
If it does, we’ll likely never know exactly what happened when.
The school has electric locks and the doors are supposed to be locked at all times. This day however the doors were not locked.
Things that make you say mmmmm.
Sounds like the other kids were sheltered in place since law enforcement was busting windows to empty the other rooms
