Many other details about the timing of events and the police response remained murky. The motive for the massacre — the nation’s deadliest school shooting since Newtown, Connecticut, a decade ago — remained under investigation, with authorities saying Ramos had no known criminal or mental health history.During the siege, which ended when a U.S. Border Patrol team burst in and shot the gunman to death, frustrated onlookers urged police officers to charge into the school, according to witnesses.
“The bottom line is law enforcement was there,” McCraw said. “They did engage immediately. They did contain in the classroom.” “What we wanted to make sure is to act quickly, act swiftly, and that’s exactly what those agents did,” Ortiz told Fox News. Javier Cazares, whose fourth grade daughter, Jacklyn Cazares, was killed in the attack, said he raced to the school as the massacre unfolded. When he arrived, he saw two officers outside the school and about five others escorting students out of the building. But 15 or 20 minutes passed before the arrival of officers with shields, equipped to confront the gunman, he said.
As for the armed school officer, investigators have concluded that he was not positioned between the school and Ramos, leaving him unable to confront the shooter before he entered the building, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke of condition of anonymity.The school officer was driving nearby but was not on campus when Ramos crashed his truck, the law enforcement official said.
