and when i came out here on this stage and told the public what happened, it was a recitation of what people in room told me, whether it be law enforcement officials are not law me enforcement officials, whatever the case may be and everybody has learned that from the information that i was given turned out in part to be an inaccurate and i m absolutely livid about that .ho ul yes. and he should be .ag the tragedy is also raising questions nowesti about what we can do to better secure our schools to keep kids safe and to harden those soft targets. proposals, of course, include armed school resource officers in every school, single points of entry and school buildingsts and multiple layers of security inside and outside of the building. but amid this sickening and evil massacre, we re also hearing stories of heroism and sacrifice like the story of father jacob elbow elba rato, an off duty border patrol agent who was getting a haircut when
in houston the 44th presidentenr donald trump warned against disarming law abiding citizens and laid out his plan for school safety. here it is when joe biden blamed the gun lobby, he wasas talking about americans t like you and along with countless other democrats this week, , he was shamefully suggesting that republicansll are somehow okay with letting school shootings happened and not okay with it. this rhetoric is highly divisive and dangerous and most importantly, it s wrong. hasrt no place in our politics. what we need now is a top to bottom security overhaul at schools all across our country . everyy building should have a single point of entry. there should be strong exterior fencing, metal detectors, and the use of new technology to make surese that no

parents u and all of us rightlyr are demanding answersig and demanding to know why thered was such a delayed response whileel school children were gunned down in cold blood and get this according to a new report, the elite border patrol tactical team that killed the school shooter that was the one that engaged him was initially prevented you guysro from the building by local police that the local policeca kept them from getting into the building at first. now a a full examination of the police response is still ongoing. but earlier todayno governor abbott said he wasr livid about the officers response. takeut a look. i was misled. i am livid about what happened. i was on this very stage today i years ago and i w was telling the public information that has been told to me in the room just a few yards behind where we re looking at right now.
longer a threat to the kids and that this mass shooting turned intoshoo barricaded suspt they believe that was not the right call. we were there were kids in the room clearly risk, by the way, even when need to go back to shooting , there may be kids that are injured that may have been shot but injured and it s important for life saving purposes to immediately get there and render-s now what is unclear right now at the moment, tammy, is how many of those students and teachers t who were in that classroom died during that 48 minutes span from when all those officers were in the hallway to the moment they got into that classroom and took down the suspect. all ofhat . jeff, t thank you so much.h. the entire thing clearly is obscene and those questions make it even just more awful doesn t it s just really unbelievable and inexplicable. so texasin police are underru intensifying scrutiny tonight for their apparent failure to immediatelytiorpp evn after many 911 calls from the building.
