LIVE: Texas Gov. Abbott holds a press conference on the Uvalde elementary school shooting.
Police admitted to a stunning string of failures — including driving right by the gunman — in responding to the Texas school shooting while children were being massacred inside, with the head of the state’s Department of Public Safety saying the time for making excuses about the botched response was over.
Just two minutes later, at least three police officers entered the same door the gunman did. By 12:03 p.m., there were as many as 19 officers in the hallway. One student in room 112 called 911 at 12:03 p.m. She called back several times. At 12:16, she said there were “eight to nine students alive,” McCraw said.McCraw said the on-scene commander believed “this was a barricaded subject situation” and did not think there were “more children at risk.”
