Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said by 12:03 p.m. there were 19 officers in the hallway, but they did not breach the class door and fatally shoot the gunman until 12:50 p.m. when a janitor provided keys.
Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, revealed Thursday that the door the suspect is believed to have entered was left propped open by a teacherOfficials in Texas offered a more detailed timeline of events about the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, amid mounting public anger and scrutiny over law enforcement's response to Tuesday's rampage.
At a news conference Thursday, Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said that the door that the suspect is believed to have entered was left propped open by a teacher minutes before the gunman crashed the truck outside Robb Elementary School. McCraw said two local officers first entered the school at 11:35 a.m., two minutes after the gunman, who has barricaded himself inside classroom. He said by 12:03 p.m. there were 19 officers in the hallway, but they did not breach the class door and fatally shoot the gunman until 12:50 p.m. when a janitor provided keys.
The on-site commander believed it was a"barricade subject situation," rather than an active shooter one and that the children were not at risk.
