got a rifle. at 11:32, more ballistic shields arrive. it could have been used immediately. none of the school radios worked in the hallways, only those belonging to border control. and the classroom doors were unlocked, even as they spent 40 minutes to locate a key. so the teacher could not lock the door from the inside? that s correct. there s no way to lock the door from the inside. vest, helmets, anything you can think of, they had it. reporter: more than a half dozen agencies responded, not just uvalde police. it s the perfect storm of what not to do happened in uvalde, texas. reporter: katy, as for what s going on today, the mental health services appears to be at the center of today s hearings. governor abbott got somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million
were calls out for they ll get one shield and then they d wait for another and some more shields would come in. it s unclear at this point , i mean, how many shields you actually need to storm a classroom. again, this is completely against all active shooter training, the idea of waiting for equipment, waiting for this kind of stuff to arrive. and anderson, we re still unpacking the timeline. i was able to, again, review it a short time ago. it is going to be made public, it is my understanding that much of this information is going to be made public tomorrow. but you can see, there are notations in the timeline when additional ballistic shields are arriving. and they are arriving well before authorities there in that hallway essentially decided to breach the classroom. so, again, another sort of
a.m., 19 minutes after the gunman entered the school. he was not taken down for another hour after killing 19 children and two teachers. a democratic member of the texas state senate is here, and we re glad to have him on. thank you for joining us, state senator. appreciate it. thank you, don. appreciate you. so you have seen that imagine. after seeing it, do you think the community will have new questions about why the officers waited for more than an hour to confront that gunman? yeah. this corroborates what we said last week, that there was three ballistic shields in the hallway at the 12:03 mark. so this is 11 minutes prior to that. we see there is officers with, you know, adequate munitions, adequate equipment to be able to reach that room. i just don t understand why that didn t happen. why they didn t breach the room. those answers shouldn t be had.
the public and the people of the state of texas deserve to know what went wrong and we deserve to know it now. the statesman says that documents they reviewed, quote, some officers at the scene, one officer says that if there is a kid in there, we need to go in there. and then another responds, whoever is in charge will determine that. now, senator, we still don t know who was in charge, right? i mean, how big of a problem is that? yeah. as i talked to different law enforcement in the region, as i m doing my own investigation here, don, i keep getting the same narrative, that they were reading off of each other and they were just frozen in time, all of that, that failed leadership, wherever it came from, whichever agency should have been in charge was a clear failure of protocol. all of those officers are trained in an active shooter situation. and from the very beginning, even the ones that didn t have the ballistic shields, they
active shooter training. the idea of waiting for equipment. waiting for this kind of stuff to arrive. anderson, we are still unpacking the timeline. i was able to, again, review it a short time ago. it will be made public as my understanding, much of this information will be made public tomorrow. you can see there are notations in the timeline. when additional ballistic shields are actually arriving. they are arriving well before authorities in the hallway essentially decided to breach the classroom. again, another sort of devastating picture here that really only deepens questions about what happened that day? and, why? sumac tony, stick around. i want to bring that is been reporting there for weeks. i am wondering, for all you know, what you make of this new image and the reporting?
