Texas cops have revealed that there was no armed guard on campus when the gunman arrived on Tuesday which allowed him to walk 'unobstructed' through an unlocked door and into the building where he slaughtered 21 people.
At a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Victor Escalon, the Regional Director for the Department of Public Safety South Texas, said Salvador Ramos walked through an unlocked door 'unobstructed' and that there was no guard 'readily available'.
It contradicts earlier reports that he fired at a school resource officer.
Ramos entered the school at 11.40am, 12 minutes after crashing his truck outside the school and walking towards campus with his AR-15. That is when police were alerted to the scene.
At 11.44am, the first cops entered the school. Ramos shot at them and they retreated.
It's unclear if he had already shot the kids and teachers in the fourth grade classroom by then, or if he went on to attack them after those cops retreated.
It then took an hour for specialized SWAT teams to arrive. At 1.06pm, the incident was declared over after Ramos was shot dead.
In the meantime, 150 cops were gathering outside. Some of them were filmed pinning parents to the floor and some were even placed in handcuffs, according to witnesses.

He’s a troll ... nobody’s that dumb ...
That would only work if EVERY teacher is armed.
But teachers and kids huddled in their classroom should not have to wait over an hour for the threat to be neutralized once the threat is known to the police. If the stories are true that dozens of police were waiting outside the school for ‘backup’ then someone is going to have a lot of explaining to do.
There is also the uncertainty factor. If you’re a gunman and you know you’re not going to meet any resistance you have a different mindset than one who knows there are some armed school personnel in the building, but you don’t who and where they are. It changes the dynamics. Most of these killers are not heroes. They’re cowards that attack unarmed people in gun free zones like schools and shopping malls where they feel pretty secure they aren’t in danger.
The kid got a 26 minute lead on the cops during a 5 mile high speed chase? If they were chasing him they would have been on top of him at 11:29!
What's wrong with you Neocons?
PS: Forum decorum dictates that you ping me when I'm included in your posts.
I have not seen any confirmation that there was a chase. There was a BOLO alert. After leaving vehicle, he shot at a couple people at a funeral home near the school. They called 911. Seems like that was first confirmation of his location.
Of course, Texas DPS could change the story again.
“I don’t understand how one can think that the trained, armed police all too often can’t handle these situations, but an elementary school teacher can.”

Simple, at least in this case. The teacher is already where the action is happening and his/her own neck is also on the line. The police just waited outside and attacked parents, so the POS had an hour and a half to slaughter children.
But here's the thing....having a CPL is like the rules of "Fight Club"....you don't talk about it. (except here...if you're me, LOL!)
What do the Democrats have that we need, that we would give up our firearms for?
They have nothing. Except the threat of legislation made up out of thin air.
And WE still have the guns. End of subject.
You must be right. That whole 85 mile (or mph chase) was fake news. Wasn’t that from Daily Mail?
Stoneman Douglas High School
Something I just learned about that shooter. He used only ten round magazines in his rifle.
Same for the Virginia Tech shooter.
Yet one of the things the Dems demand is a ten round limit on magazines.
Yeah and the 2 officers arrived and they got shot at. They had to know if they ran he would get inside. I guess one could have dropped to prone and made himself a small target and returned fire. Easy to say when someone is not shooting a AR at you. But I wonder if he knew that door was locked and why was it open. Aren’t those supposed to be locked.
Might not have been exactly fake, just mistaken as apparently fleeing illegals come through Uvalde and put schools in lockdown pretty frequently. The mayor has complained loudly about the open border.
Whatever you say, Tinky Winky.
