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.

The cops should have gave their guns to the parents by the looks of the video.
And any of those taxpayer-bought Ford Explorer SUV’s with the push bumpers could have knocked the doors in.
Unbelievable!!
Perhaps some of us would rather wait for the FACTS to come out and hold off with the brick throwing
A sixteen year old kid with some rope and a truck could have pulled the door off.
That video is hard to watch...Dozens of cops who are loaded down with weapons, body armor etc, stand around the front of the school pushing parents back as parents scream asking, why they’re not in there!
In the audio, you can clearly hear parents yelling, “What the f*** is wrong with you guys”!
Thanks.
LOL! Don’t care!
Sounds like the school shooting in Florida, where the “resource officer” headed in the opposite direction when shots rang out. Last I heard, he was facing charges, but collecting an $8,000 monthly pension—you read that right. Meanwhile, another deputy who was fired for hiding in his car during the massacre won his job back through arbitration—with back pay
No. I have no such animosity at all. I come from an Irish cop family NY.
As a parent, I am simply thinking about that scene. That’s all
I do hope the cops turn out to be right in this situation. As I said.
There’s going to be a lot of “takeaways” from this I suspect. Many will be helpful, like locking back doors.
The way this kind of thing is going to be stopped is if you keep the bad guy out of the school completely. And then you got the outside playground issue to deal with.
And the full tactical gear a few of them were wearing including vests and helmets
If you say so.
Yep. He’s a piece of filth. Those two kids were quiet and stayed quiet. Amazing that they got out alive.
So true, they treated Ashli Babbitt obviously way more harshly than they treated Ramos. And Ashli didn’t hurt anyone.
Ignore her. She probably lives in a tiny house with fifty cats.
Get the heck out of here with that KEY BS!
You telling me that not 1 police etc battering ram or one that could be improvised was not available???
