clarifying another key detail of what happened that day. a teacher say he did close the door that the killer used to get inside the school but the door was not locked. this contradicts an earlier claim by police that the teacher had left the door propped open. the town of uvalde is also continuing to honor more of the victims today. funerals today for a teacher who died protecting her students and also one of the young students killed. let s begin with cnn s shimon prokupecz who is live in uvalde. shimon, you spoke with the police chief. what more did he say about all of these questions that are swirling? reporter: well, he s not answering the key questions as to why he made the decision not to send officers in to take the gunmen down, right, the dps, head of the dps, the department of public safety who was running this investigation told us on friday that he was the on-site commander, that he was the one making decisions, and he was the one who ultimately decided that the
officers who stood outside the door from the dispatchers who didn t articulate information, and for the police chief who failed ultimately to act on the information that was known. cheryl dorsey, juliet kayyem. thank you. senate majority leader chuck schumer has given the bipartisan group of lawmakers who have come together on this one week to make headway. cnn s lauren fox is live on the hill. she s been tracking this. what are you hearing from lawmakers? reporter: well, yesterday, a significant zoom meeting happening with senator chris murphy, a democrat from connecticut who is leading these negotiations, as well as senator john cornyn of texas, kyrsten sinema, and tom tillis. that group of four had a productive meting, i m told by aides, and then hammering out
further exacerbating what already should have never occurred and is a tragedy of enormous proportion. it s strange and surprising, really, to be quite honest. i mean, julia, the door. this element of the timeline and what was known about the date and changing and being clarified, propping up the door and close the door, the door did not lock. is this a small thing or something bigger when you have a series of wrong information kind of being put out there and what happened? so, and part of it is the natural progression of how we come to understand tragedies. i know that s hard for a lot of people who want the facts on day one, but i m quite familiar with these narratives changing and often they change not because someone is lying or because of malfeasance, although that may be true in this case, but what one person believed to be true. it s like eyewitness accounts, ends up not being true when you hear other eyewitnesses. so this happens very often and
so, there are a lot of theories out there. i think it s enough to learn more. first, it s not completely clear to what extent anti-virals are responsible for this. when pfizer s were published by the fda, they showed there was some rebound boat in people who had never been treated as well as in those who had been treated. but that was during the delta era. and we suspect that omicron may be behaving a little bit differently. so some thought is that maybe because packslovid works so well the immune system doesn t get a good look at omicron and doesn t have the same opportunity to develop immunity that it might if it were packslovid. sorry. this is information and so much amazing start. thank you, doctor, i appreciate it.
packslovid begin to experience symptoms again, even if they have been symptom-free for as long as a week. at the same time their symptoms come back, the viral load also builds up again to the same levels they actually had initially and that really raised concerns that they may become infectious a second time, even though they re now outside the usual window for being able to transmany it to others. this is really important information when we learn more about what we are supposed to do about it. what do you think people should do? should people think twice before taking it if they are infected? so, first, we continue to recognize that packslovid has been remarkable in desuppressing
