Hero CBP cop rushed to Texas massacre school mid-haircut with borrowed shotgun to rescue 20 kids including his daughter, 8, after wife who teaches there texted him saying: 'There's an active shooter. Help'

An off-duty border patrol agent has told how he evacuated children including his own eight-year-old daughter from Robb Elementary School, armed with a shotgun he had grabbed from his barber's as he left to dash to the site.

Jacob Albarado, a father of three, received a text message from his wife Trisha - a fourth grade math and science teacher at the school - when he was in the barber's chair.

'There's an active shooter,' she said. 'Help. I love you.'

Albarado leapt up and grabbed a shotgun the barber lent him, and rushed to the school.

Inside, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, a high school dropout and loner who had bought the rifles he used a week before, was murdering 19 children and their two teachers. He was eventually shot dead by one of Albarado's border patrol colleagues.

He did not go to the scene to stop the active shooter.

Makes the timing or alleged timing of events even more interesting.

What a confusing mess. Did this guy go in by himself or with others?

This guy is a hero but he evacuated his kids class and left all the other classes on their own, wtf? Something about this whole thing doesn’t add up.

That was already being done, so what’s your point?

“That was already being done, so what’s your point?”

So he got there *after* all the cops had been hanging around outside for upwards of an hour?

Negative. His colleagues were not active towards the shooter at that time.

If you do not know my point, then you should catch up on your reading of this mass killing.

Yes. In Texas you can usually just borrow your barber’s shotgun for a while.

No, he cleared a whole wing of classrooms. The first was his daughter’s.

They probably weren’t sure which room he was in and/or if he had hostages.

Since his wife had texted him he knew that THIS room was “shooter free” and could evacuate it.

I’ll bet his wife probably told him the room the shooter was holed up in.

The question is - were any of these teachers on the phone and in contact with the police or 911 at this time?! The police perimeter suggests they thought it was an active hostage situation.

Unlike the cops on the scene who didn’t want to risk their precious hides for a few kids. After all everyone wants cops to go home to their families at night and everyone knows cops are more important than children.

Pure speculation, but don’t kids get lots of credit card offers on their 18th birthdays? If only two or three, his new line of credit would be enough to buy the rifles.
