the head of dps saying basically the chief made every excuse not to go inside that classroom, really just baffled and confused as to why he didn t act sooner. he said that yesterday, the head of dps, it should have only taken three minutes. in three minutes they could have gone in and killed the gunman, calling it an abject failure. after all of this, of course today we get the news from the school that they re placing the chief on leave. and ultimately what i sense is that they want the chief to resign on his own so that they don t have to vote, the school board doesn t have to vote to force him out, basically. so, i mean, it was startling to hear, you know, finally some facts and information and to learn, you know, that the door may not have been locked at all and they waited for a key, that they had shields early on, that they had long rifles early on, that they had enough people, enough gun power to kill the

12:15 there were tactical shields that had arrived here. the director of dps saying they wanted to wait for the tactical gear because of the gun power of the gunman. you had at least 15 officers and shields on scene yet you did not reach the door until 12:50. i said it before, first of all, when it comes to an active shooter, you don t have to wait on tactical gear. you got an obligation. do you what i know now, absolutely. it was an active shooter. keep in mind, in the doctrine of active shooters, you can transition from an active shooter situation to a barricaded subject or a barricaded with hostage subject. if shooting continues and you have any reason to believe there are individuals alive you have
