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 here. And a DL is required for all visitors
Isn’t this what happened in Florida as well?
So the problem is there were no guns on campus to stop the guy.
They had a shooting drill in March or April. It’s amazing how many school shootings come soon after the drill.
retreat is a bad thing
Timeline by Texas DPS, Victor Escalon:
11:28 crashed grandma’s truck
11:30 started shooting at a funeral home across from school, first 911 call
11:40 climbed fence into school yard
11:44 first LEOs arrive and exchange gunfire, perp entered building
12:40 BP entered building
Police said “it was too dsngerous” reported on news radio just now. WTH!!!!!
“Was there supposed to be? Probably, where was he?”
It was initially reported there was an armed guard. I think the media threw that out there so they could validate their talking point of “see it does no good to have an armed guard. We need to ban guns”
“Horrifying. They should all be fired. Like cowards at Parkland sitting outside.”
FYI...the cowards at Parkland were fired and then later quietly reinstated.
The head honcho in his press conference this morning stated the initial responding officers were waiting for body armor. Did not give a reason as to why they weren’t prepared. Responding while off duty? Your guess is as good as mine.
But they love their “queer gear” and gadgets for larping. 🤬
Expect to see a lot less “back the blue” bumper stickers, at least in Texas.
But today the spokesman said NO resource officer was there.
And don’t most officers all wear vests. Most cops around hear have shotguns locked in the front and usually AR style riffles chained and locked in the trunk. I can’t imagine being in a situation like that but 100 cops standing around with there thumbs up there asses and not entering the school. If he went in back 10 cops should have entered the front and worked there way back at the very least. If you arm teachers they won’t be able to carry, they will likely have to lock it up somewhere. And the first time students pick a lock and or get possession of a teachers gun dems will end that program..
“11:44 first LEOs arrive and exchange gunfire, perp entered building
12:40 BP entered building”
One f*ing hour. I wonder how many children who bled to death could have been saved.
Weren't the teachers unions objecting to cameras in the classrooms because they didn't want people to know what was going on?
Russian Troll: “Easy there Iron Jack.”
Dude, that’s a wicked great nickname! Almost up there with “The MAGA King”!!!
You should run with it! (-:
How long was the car chase after grandmother was shot?
These stand around and do nothing cops think they dodged a bullet and let the shooter do his thing. It will not be easy to live with that. It is going to eat at them psychologically. It predict a lot of those do nothings cops will commit suicide in the coming days/weeks.
While technically not murder it is tantamount to it. Read Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky.
