Onlookers yelled at them to go in. They didn’t. One parent urged bystanders:
“Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to.”
Sounds like the last time 🤪
“We waited for the shooting to stop”
Who remembers that brilliant strategy from, oh, Columbine?
So, was the hero who killed the guy so off duty guy who just showed up or part of the SWAT team that finally showed up? Sounds like the latter.
I don’t blame the officers even a little - they have to follow proceedures no thanks to the restrictions they have tied around their necks.
HOGWASH!
How did the shooter get in the school?
This delay was either Trump’s fault or caused by racism. The MSM will decide later.
Wow, they did not go in? This is shocking news. Seriously. resign now!
Who gave the stand down order?
reminds me of the Pulse night club? where the cops waited
3 hours to go in
Where did the poor and unemployed kid get money to buy some very nice rifles?
Cops have zero allies. It’s as if that’s what they want.
Law enforcement officers arriving on the scene could hear gunshots inside the classroom, Olivarez said. Officers tried to enter the school, but the shooter fired on them, hitting some of the officers, Olivarez said. At that point, police officers “began breaking windows around the school” in an attempt to evacuate children, teachers and staff, he said.
Officers were eventually able to force their way into the classroom and kill the shooter, who wore a tactical vest, Olivarez said.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent killed Ramos

Get some Israeli commandos..They would have charged in and saved the kids.....
Same old story! Time after time after time...
LEOs are not about protecting anyone except themselves...
The stinking cowards should be charges for 2nd degree murder...
Happens every single time...
40-minutes of mental masturbation certainly cost many lives...
So many lies. We heard that a brave border patrol agent ran in without backup and took the shooter out. Wrong.
Apparently a border patrol tactical team assembled and went in with tactical gear including shields. Still brave but not the story told before. Now it appears this was 30 - 40 minutes after the shooting started.
We (FD) have body armor on the apparatus and were trained to enter quickly in mass shooter incidents. LEO enters pretty much as soon as they arrive and we are on there backs. It has been shown over and over that when these cowards are confronted they will, as a rule, kill themselves.
All these “good guys with guns” and not one of them had the ability (or guts) to stop one bad guy with a gun? Something is not right here.
I can’t find it now, but there was a really good interview/write up about the response to the Roseburg, Oregon community college shooting that happened in 2015.
Two detectives (Detective Sergeant Kaney and Detective Spingath) were nearby and responded to the call. They could hear the shooting as they drove up and they pulled up close to the building they thought the shots were coming from.
IIRC, seeing as they weren’t SWAT they were just supposed to secure the area. But as they were driving in they saw they were the first ones there and they both agreed that they weren’t going to just wait.
IIRC they were supposed to wait in a safe area, get their vests and long rifles (out of the trunk?), etc.
Anyway, they drove right up and the gunman saw them and he fired at the detectives. The detectives returned fire and this went back and forth a couple of times. The detectives hit the gunman injuring him. The gunman sat down and shot himself in the head. 8 minutes from the time of the first 911 call. (Sadly - he had already killed 10 of the students, 18-20 years old range).
Iraq war veteran Chris Mintz was a student (older) and a hero. He blocked the doorway into one of the classrooms filled with students. Chris told the gunman he wasn’t getting in the room. The gunman shot him 7 times point blank. Chris lived and I believe is fully recovered but with rods in his arms/legs. Nobody else was shot after Chris stopped him.
It was just after Chris was shot that the detectives had the shoot-out with the gunman and ended it.
