Nearly 20 police officers waited for nearly an hour in a hallway outside the classrooms where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in a Texas elementary school, even as panicked 911 calls were placed from inside the rooms pleading for police to intervene, authorities said on Friday.
At least one child and one teacher made multiple calls to the 911 emergency number from the two connecting classrooms after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos had entered with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, according to Colonel Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Note Every one of these police should be charged with Murder and dereliction of duty, and of course FIRED!

The cops were chasing him after he shot his grandmother and then stopped to shoot at the funeral home. He ran his grandmother's truck into a ditch and broke the axle and then ran to the school. They were doing construction on the school before school had let out which required the back doors to be open. That was a mistake. The shooter easily gained access to the building and the school was not on alert of lockdown because the local PD didn't notify the school resource officer? Here the schools lock down anytime there is an incident near one.

Uvalde is a poor, predominantly Hispanic town and the city had cut back on police funding....According to friends in San Antonio who are telling me what the heard on the news.
