Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, admitted law enforcement made the 'wrong decision' not to go into the classroom where the Uvalde school shooting suspect was for 35 minutes.
UVALDE, Texas -- A Texas official admitted law enforcement made the"wrong decision" in their response to the Robb Elementary School shooting, failing to breach the classroom for a 35-minute period as an 18-year-old gunman terrorized children inside.
"It was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision. Period ... We believe there should have been an entry. We don't have time," he said. The incident commander believed he was dealing with was a barricaded subject inside the school and the children were not at risk, he said. Robb Elementary School parents are demanding answers from law enforcement, incensed that an 18-year-old gunman accessed the building through an unlocked door and carried out an hour-long rampage, killing 19 children and two teachers.
