the video shows frantic and frustrated parents demanding they be let into the school. police keeping the distraught family members behind a perimeter as the shooting unfolds inside. it s still unclear when in the whole event cycle this video was shot. sandra: texas officials have yet to deliver a clear timeline of what exactly happened and when. we do know the gunman got into that school through an unlocked entrance, responding officers were met by heavy gunfire and the suspect barricaded himself inside the classroom with children and teachers. a community the victims, today would have been the last day of class before the summer break. john: texas republican congressman tony gonzalez represents uvalde, he joins us in moments. fox team coverage. alexis mcadams has more on the victims. sandra: to bill with the latest on the ground in texas, what do we know? bill: sandra, a short time ago i was in touch with a source close to the investigation and told they are in fact
