But Why Were They on the Scene?

Yeah, lets have a big investigation. Maybe we can hang the hero who ended it out to dry.

I read a couple of accounts that said it was an off duty BP agent, not a team. That was a few hours ago and maybe it’s been updated?

Border patrol officers can operate with 100 miles of a border.

On a Greyhound trip from Brownsville, BP officers searched the bus four times.

There is a BP Office in Uvalde, TX.

Likely BP officers have kids in the local schools.

Uvalde is 50 miles from the border. How far does their jurisdiction extend?

Not surprising to me they were there given the area. So many people complain about laxk of coordination and cooperation between law enforcement agencies, you’d think they’d be grateful and happy cpb was there assisting.

Oh wait, CPB stopped the killing event from being worse.

It made the socialists exploitable event less worse.

See. I see now.

US Marshalls were, as well. Look at the pictures, you’ll see those vests.

Pretty big fed contingent.

That’s a good article. It answers many of the questions I see in the comments.

“Why were they there?”

Because many of them live there.
Why are articles written with such dumb questions asked?

Because the wife of the BP agent was a teacher and she texted him.

Several BP agents had kids in that school. That town is full of BP agents because it’s one of the nicer towns to live in near the two main BP stations in the area. There, I saved you having to read the article.

Not sure if this was posted: FOX reporter says the shooter was arrested 4 years ago for saying he was going to shoot up a school during his senior year. I’d say that’s a Red Flag. Too many of these shooters just fall thru the cracks.

A teacher texted her husband, a Border Patrol Agent, to come help since the police weren’t doing anything. The news should read the news.

Schools in this district have been into lockdowns 48 times this year so far, to control illegals running thru campus.

So, instead of securing the campus full time the district offloads their emergency support to a federal agency. Brilliant!
And. please, spare me the crappola about how much they spend on police depts. You can secure a campus by allowing teachers to carry. Costs pennies. All my relatives in Tx carry. How is a kid to know if he is gonna be shot in the back if he pulls a gun on other kids? He can’t. So, he goes to an unsecured target.
