tow trucks, the final line in the official platform of the texas republican party is a rebuke to the senior senator from texas, republican john cornyn, who reject the so-called bipartisan agreement, and we rebuke senators john cornyn, and the other eight republican senators who joined them. of course, senator cornyn was only willing to participate in even the most minimal form of bipartisan agreement on gun legislation because of the mass murders at robb elementary school. but his republican party in texas refuses to acknowledge that that mass murder even happened. leading off our discussion tonight is jay david goodman, houston bureau of chief for the new york times investigative
reporter for the austin american-statesman. and david, limit began with you on this issue of, worthy doors locked. what is the information that we have, as of now, about where the classroom doors locked with unlocked, the law cannot work. how did the gunman get in the classroom? i think it is pretty clear that the gunman, when i encounter the door was either not completely closer was not locked. he managed to get his way inside. i think one investigators know to be true and what has been shown in the documents that i ve reviewed and the surveillance video is that no officer is seen trying this door handles. particularly, no one s even near the door for a lengthy period of time about 40 minutes after they are first shot at. surround 11:37 i believe it is. they don t try those doors
gunman, long before they finally did. nine minutes! the police had protective equipment. they had a ballistic shield in the school. nine minutes, after the mass murder entered the school, and no one used that ballistic shield for over an hour. david goodman at the new york times reports that the hour that chief peter dabo says he spent, looking for a key, to open the classroom door, was a wasted our in more ways than one. because there is no evidence that the classroom doors were locked. the times reports, it was not apparent from the documents or video reviewed by the times, that anyone had checked the doors to see if they were locked.
