0 to get things done for us. i approve this message, and all these shoes too. good day, everyone. i'm chris jansing in for andrea mitchell. questions and frustration are mounting. new details about what happened at robb elementary school are being uncovered three days after the town's tragedy. in the last 24 hours, we learned that much of what we were first told was not true. the shooter entered the school unobstructed. there was no school resource officer who engaged with the shooter. the doors were unlocked. for 12 minutes after crashing his vehicle, the gunman fired on civilians before entering. on thursday, kerry sanders asked why it took an hour. >> the majority of the gunfire was in the beginning. in the beginning. i say numerous, more than 25. it was a lot of gunfire in the beginning. during the negotiations, there wasn't much gunfire other than trying to keep the officers at bay. that could change depending -- once we analyze the video. right now, according to the information, he did not respond. >> there's more heartbreaking news. joe garcia died of a heart attack. the husband of elementary schooler irma garcia who was killed along with her students. they were high school sweethearts and have four children. the youngest just 12 years old. the children who survived are telling their stories of terror during the worst hour of their lives. >> i hear shoot, shoot, shoot. try to shoot at the officer. they ran past, went back inside. >> what were you thinking as you were hiding in the bathroom so long? >> i think i was just like trying to be still, not move, talk. i was crying my head, still making the noise. >> today, the national rifle association's convention is going forward as planned in texas. governor abbott is now addressing this weekend's attendees via a pre-recorded video statement. we will have a live report from houston this hour. we begin in uvalde with nbc's sam brock. the community hoping, obviously, for more answers from the texas department of safety at the top of this press conference. what are we expecting? >> reporter: we are minutes away from hearing from dps. officials yesterday sounded at a loss for words. >> let's go -- i'm sorry. let's go live to the press conference. it's just started. >> social or digital media footprint of the subject. 11:27, we know from video evidence, 11:27, the exterior door, suspected of what we knew, the shooter entered, ramos, was propped open by a teacher. 11:28, the suspect vehicle crashes into the ditch as previously described. the teacher runs to the room 132 to retrieve a phone. that same teacher walks back to the exit door and door remains propped open. two males, as reported by the regional director, two males at a funeral home, when they heard the crash, they went to the scene. when they arrived, they saw a man with the gun exit with a backpack. they began running. ramos began shooting at them. did not hit them. one of the males fell when he was running. both males returned to the funeral home while running and then again we see through video teacher re-emerges and calls 911. 911 call at 11:30, there was a crash, man with a gun. 11:31, suspect reaches last row of vehicles in school parking lot. 11:31, suspect shooting began at the school while patrol vehicles got to the funeral home. i will point out where it is. crashed vehicle is over here. suspect was hiding behind a vehicle, started walking down shooting into the classroom. there was discussion early on that in isd consolidated isd for uvalde, had an officer, who was a resource officer and had confronted the subject. that did not happen. it was stated in preliminary interviews. often these interviews doesn't reveal the type of information and certainly police officers, like anyone else, under stress witnesses get it wrong. the bottom line is an officer was not on scene, not on campus, but heard the call about the man with a gun. drove to the area. sped to what he thought was the man with a gun, to the back of the school, what turned out to be a teacher and not the suspect. in doing so, he drove by the suspect who was hunkered down behind a vehicle where he began shooting at the school. 11:31, suspect shooting in between the vehicle is when it began. patrol vehicle gets to the funeral home. multiple shots are fired outside the school at 11:31. patrol car accelerates into the parking lot. drives by the shooter. that's what i was talking about, the isd officer at that time. he passes then leaves camera view. multiple shots fired at the school at 11:32. at 11:32:27, 11:33, the suspect entered the school at the door that i'm pointing to now. 11:33, suspect begins shooting into room 111 or 112. it's not possible to determine from the video angle that we have at this point in time. we do know this. he shot more than 100 rounds based on the audio evidence at that time. at least 100 rounds. he entered at 11:33. he started shooting in the classrooms 111 and 112. 11:35, three police officers entered the same door as the suspect entered. all three police officers worked with the uvalde police department. they were later followed by another four, a team of uvalde police officers, and also a county sheriff -- county deputy sheriff. a total of seven officers were on the scene. three initial police officers that arrived went directly to the door and two received grazing wounds at that time from the suspect. while the door was closed. 11:37, more gunfire. another 16 rounds was fired at 11:37. one at 11:37:16. at 11:51, police sergeant and agents started to arrive. 12:03, officers continue to arrive in the hallway. there were as many as 19 officers at that time in that hallway. at 12:15, more members arrived. not the entire group but members. along with shields. 12:41, the suspect fired again. was believed to be at the door. 11:21, law enforcement moved down the hallway. 11:50, they breached the door using keys from the janitor because both doors were locked. both classrooms he shot into were locked when officers arrived. they killed the suspect at that time. now i would like to go over the 911 timeline. i warn you is not -- it's better i read it than you listen to it. a caller identified -- i will not say her name -- but she was in room 112 called 911 at 12:03. the duration was one minute and 23 seconds. she identified herself and whispered she's in room 112. at 12:10, she called back and advised multiple dead. 12:13, again she called on the phone. again at 12:16. she called back and said, eight to nine students alive. at 12:19, the 911 call was made and another person in room 111 called. i will not say her name. she hung up when another student told her to hang up. 12:21, you could hear over the 911 call three shots were fired. 12:36, 911 call that lasted for 21 seconds. the initial caller called back, student/child called back. was told to stay on the line and be quiet. she told 911 that he shot the door. at approximately 12:43 and 12:47 she asked 911 to send the police now. at 12:46, she said she could not -- that she could hear the police next door. at 12:50 shots are fired that could be heard over the 911 call. 12:52 very loud and sounds like the officers are moving children out of the room. at that time, the first child that called was outside before the call cuts off. additional information that we have is that 58 total magazines at the school. 11 of those were inside the school. three were on the suspect's body. two in room 112. six in room 111. five were on the ground. one was in the rifle. 32 magazines outside the school. on school property. one just outside the building and 31 in the backpack that he did not take into the classrooms with him. 15 magazines at the crash site. two magazines in the residence for 60 magazines. he purchased and had a total of 1,657 total rounds of ammunition. 315 of those rounds were inside the school. 142 of those were spent cartridges. 173 were live rounds. 922 were outside of the school but on school property. 22 of those were spent cart ridges. 900 were live rounds. 422 were at the crash site. 22 were spent cartridges. there's 35 spent law enforcement cartridges total in the school. eight of those were in the hallway. 27 were inside classroom 111 were the suspect was killed. i mentioned we will go over quickly a digital timeline. i think we talked about early -- i want to correct something that was said early on in the investigation. he posted on facebook publically that he was going to kill -- he was going to shoot his grandmother and after that that he was going to -- that he shot her and third that he was going to shoot up a school. that did not happen. it was on a message. it was a facebook messenger application to somebody else that he had a conversation with. we know that through his digital footprint -- i will do it by time. ramos asked his sister to help him buy a gun. she flatly refused. that was in september of '21. he made -- i will avoid some of these. instagram of a group chat and it was discussed that ramos being the school shooter. that was on february 28 of 2022. on march 1 of 2022, an instagram with four people, a chat, he discussed him buying a gun. on march 3rd, 2022, another four person chat. quotations, word on the street is you are buying a gun. ramos rereplied, just bought something. on march 14th, instagram posting, by the subject, in quotations, ten more days. user replies, are you going to shoot up the school or something? the subject replied, no. stop asking dumb questions. you will see. i have agreed to stay as long as we can and answer as many questions as we can. if i can't answer it, because we don't know right now, i will say that. it continues to be a preliminary investigation. literally over hundreds of interviews conducted. will continue to be conducted. thousands of leads that are being pursued, not consecutively but concurrently. thanks to our federal and local partners. i want to mention behind me, the fbi special agent in charge. we have an atf special agent in charge. of course, who else behind? texas rangers. if there's any specifics i haven't covered that i might need their support on. i want to cover one thing quickly before i go to questions. some of the questions we received -- that we have already received. one of those is going around now that, in fact, the subject had been one of the two arrested by the texas rangers and the local police in 2018. that's not the case. he was not one of the individuals. in fact, we have found no links association of relationships in that investigation. it was back in 2018. two juveniles were charged with attempted or conspiracy to commit capital murder. no question that we thought and we had evidence. district attorney agreed the juveniles, one 13 and one 14, was a threat to uvalde. there was a discussion at that time, even the senior year of the one that was 14, which would make it 2022. however, that was not the subject. questions? one thing i want to say. one thing i failed to say, when we are done, tony will translate into spanish what the answers and questions are afterwards.
