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.

ABSOULTELY NO!!! IN TOO MANY CITIES, AMERICAN POLICE HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO AN ARMY OF JACK-BOOTED, WOKEN, STALINIST THUGS!!!!
I’M SICK OF THIS CRAP!!!!! WAY TOO MANY POLICE ARE OUR ENEMIES, AND THE SOONER WE WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT A POLICE STATE IS A BAD THING, THE SOONER WE GET OUR LIBERTIES BACK!!!!!!!
I want to see what the law enforcement report and investigation shows. I have not seen any video. I don’t know enough to have an opinion.
This is not a hit piece on police, as a whole.
Just the 150 police who did nothing in this one city.
Haven’t the police been vilified enough !
Ms Kimber and I would have been the first ones in.
This is the same cowardly play they did in Colorado.
First of all I don’t believe this. Many of those cops had kids or knew kids in that school. This is disgusting propaganda and the Freepers on this thread spewing crap are as disgusting as Beto.
******* cowards.
All of them.

Be sure to not trust your own eyes.
When you federalize policing, make policing political, remove control from the community, hang the threat of DOJ prosecution above them at all times, turn every action into a legal encounter - what happens is you turn police into government bureaucrats.
And this is what government bureaucrats do. They wait 90 minutes for someone with a key.
IF the timeline is true, first we hear 40 minutes, then 60 minutes and now 90 minutes, then we all deserve a RETRACTION of your comments.
LE, rightfully so, should be vilified IF THE STORY IS TRUE!!!!
when seconds count, the police are minutes away. and when they arrive, they hide behind their cars and call for back up.
So you think that mother should have been allowed to go inside? Really?
Which part, exactly, is untrue?
Be specific.
L
I have no words.
Covid should have shown you that the police ARE NOT on your side.
So you can’t interpret any event in the world without waiting nine months for something official to come out from an investigation?
I mean, video footage, witnesses, and newspapers and radio mean nothing, right?
If it's reporting facts then it's not a hit piece. You think the facts shouldn't be known if they put police in a bad light?
Re: 24 - Just stop.
You’re embarrassing yourself and FR with that crap.
Good grief.
How did the shooter get in?
BS video. I don’t see what the article describes.
Am sure if they took 90 minutes to get inside it was not properly handled. But what I saw in the video does not look unusual.
Most small towns have plans for such attacks. Our local school has designated employee’s inside that are armed and who know how to use firearms. But it is a smaller school than Uvalde. I live 2 blocks from the local school.
I remember in my youth that almost all farmers had a rifle in a rack on the rear window of their pickups. Most had a rifle and a shotgun. Now you don’t. Because of theft of firearms. (Theft was very rare then.)
