talk. [speaking spanish] joining me now is sam brock in uvalde with the latest on the shooting. also he s in houston where the show must go on for the nra. first use them, it s very hard to watch, to hear, and process what happened there. then we learned of the injured children calling 9-1-1 for help. didn t get there in time. it all feels impossible and we are not even there. here in the studio. but you there on scene? what are you learning sam? well certainly it s gut wrenching alex. you talk to parents here, and they say it feels like the floor falls from underneath them every time they hear these press conferences. the changing narratives. also that the help was there on. time there were 90 law enforcement officers inside at 12:03, that s the same time the 9-1-1 calls were coming from the classroom. the incident commander based on the volume of shots, and initially they re 100 shots fired in the first few minutes, and then slowed down, that incident commander made
11:27 a.m. before the suspect entered the school, he immediately unleashed more than 100 rounds, shortly after that, three officers entered the school and two of them were immediately grazed by the gunman s bullets. john: according to texas dps, as many as 19 officer gathered in the hallway as of 12:03:00 p.m. no effort was made to breach the door of the classroom until 40 minutes later. law enforcement facing questions and criticism over the amount of time that passed before they stormed the classroom to stop the carnage. uvalde mayor will join us in the next hour, but we have team coverage this hour on all angles. karl rove will join us in moment. alicia is live in houston where the nra convention is being held. john: bill melugin, what a news conference that was. bill: yeah, john, that is an understatement. i think our jaws hit the floor as well, one of the big highlights we learned from the moment the shooter was first encountered by police in that school until th
classrooms and one section of the school calling at a particular point in time. but where were the officers says that exact point? overlaid with time and a math. however we can verify it at this point frankly, if they have body camera at this, but gps, data self own data, something, video camera footage within the school. where was the perpetrator has that exact point? we re shots being fired by either the police or by the perpetrator? as you start to overly all of this information on top of each other, no one wants to be patient at this, and that is completely understandable. but the final product hopefully, and i said this the other day, this will take months to have a comprehensive report. we expect that there should be different inefficiencies from what we ve learned. do you think the police in uvalde are gonna be playing anything but defense on this one? will they be able to justify
