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.

Same with ours.
Some of the officers went into the school and got their own kids — while their buddies kept parents away.

Doors should have been locked at a bare minimum! I would think that is a school district standard throughout the US by now?
Lying coward. We’ll circle back. They already know 100% of truth here. Officers sat outside for an hour.
Always be carrying, the cops will NOT be coming to save you. Now it’s time for the accolades to happen about the brave cops.
Nobody directly assaulted that position where the killer was. Inexcusable.
Have read that the school did employ a security guard, wherever he was that day.
And you’re 100% right — you don’t retreat and wait while an armed attacker is going after unarmed children.

It does not seem humanly possible to not do everything to get through that door.
Around here all of the school’s doors are locked. You state your business to someone in the school office through a device outside the front door and hold up your ID in front of the camera.
Every classroom should have a camera that parents and LEO have access to all for different reasons.
I want to hear the dispatch recording.
He got caught goofing off on the one day he should have been working. Hopefully they get an answer to that. They've been kinda stingy with information so far. Taking 3-4 questions is not a good look.
Look at the 2018 story above. Was Ramos one of those that made the threat to four years later shoot up a school?
With that already a threat why weren’t schools locked down and assigned a SRO?
Easy there Iron Jack. If Neocons were so brave, they'd be fighting alongside Zelenskyy, right?
Unfortunately, this fits exactly the police behavior of EVERY OTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING with which I am conversant. Cop/cowards on display......
I’m at a loss for words.
All kinds of things can be done. Electronic doors to shut off sections....
Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway. John Wayne
Where was the Rangers?
Where did those first police officers think they were?
At Stoneman Douglas High in Broward County Florida?
(Same thing happened there. Cops retreated from a kid with a gun, rather than engage and stop the massacre.)
The day of the Parkville shooting, I was asked to go to a local high school in a Baltimore suburb to talk with a vocational teacher.
It was known what had happened and I expected the door to be guarded. I waltzed right in and was never once challenged.
They don’t take your children’s safety seriously.
Mark Levin was right. There was an armed officer at the school, in fact multiple.
