Shocking new video has emerged showing Texas cops restraining parents as they tried to rescue their kids on Tuesday after a gunman unleashed terror inside the elementary school, as questions grow over why it took so long to get to the shooter after the first 911 call.
Salvador Ramos, 18, arrived at the school in Uvalde at 11.30am, crashing his car into a ditch.
A school resource officer was at the scene but he failed to stop him from making his way inside.
Two other cops also rushed to the school at that time - Ramos had just shot his grandmother in the face at their home less than five miles away. She survived and called the police.
When they arrived, Ramos is said to have shot at them then ran into the school, where he barricaded himself in the fourth grade classroom and shot 19 kids and two teachers dead.
It took another 90 minutes from that point for police to declare the shooting over.
Now, sources say police were struggling to get into the classroom and needed a key to open the door.
Eventually, a border patrol agent was able to get inside and the shooting was declared over at 1.06pm.
But it questions remain over why it took police so long to get into the classroom where the kids were trapped with the gunman.
One child told KENS 5 that he was able to hide under a desk, but that a girl who yelled out 'help' when police arrived was executed.

Looks like a total failure by local law enforcement. We shall see but many, many heads are going to roll over this as they should.
God, God no.
The Colorado Columbine tragedy showed that cops follow their own safety. They let the kids die in Colorado as with Texas.
I also think they will use this an excuse for packing the court and overturning the Senate's filibuster rule.
Also read they were smashing windows to get kids out. Could they not have climbed in those windows?
Understudies of the Cowards of Broward?
They’re not only useless, they are complicit in the extent of the crime.
first responders are the teachers. they are handcuffed by their government overlords.
those two teachers, if armed, could have stopped this icehole in the hallway. especially if the 6 other teachers in the other classrooms were also armed.
it is a shame to have to say it outloud, but gun restrictions kill people.
Cops are going to get creamed for their response, having learned nothing from Columbine, 23 years ago.
This is the 2ND hit piece on the police I’ve seen just this morning!
Dear mercy, stop doing this!
Haven’t the police been vilified enough !
I see this as a DEMOCRAT LIBERAL DEEP STATE DIRTY TRICK AND I HAVE HAD MY FILL OF THIS!
STOP POSTING MADE UP STORIES!
Of course. That's standard operating procedure. Cops are "crime historians." They show up after a crime has been committed to take down a report. That's about all they're good for.
Anyone who thinks that cops exist to protect people from crime are silly fools who've watched far too many hagiographic cop shows on television.
Not acceptable...
