gunfire can be heard on that call, as long enforcement moves down the hallway. at approximately 12:43, an hour after this shooter entered the school, the student asks the 9-1-1 dispatcher to quote, please send the police now. but it s not until 12:50, five 0 pm, that law enforcement gets the key, the key from the janitor, and breaches the door. today, stephen mcgraw, the head of the texas department of safety, said the decision by the unseen commander to wait was a mistake. it was simply this. there was a 40 minute gap. and if the 9-1-1 operators were aware that children were alive in that classroom, why weren t officers notified of that but? and it begs the question, why then they take action?

disable the shooter. texas protocols include materials that were reviewed on trained on with the uvalde police department two months ago. this included instructions to essentially go the immediate priority is to disable the shooter. this is even if there are injured. they need to bypass. if there are children crying out for help. this was clearly not part of the protocol. there are different protocols for a barricade situation, a hostage situation. they are saying that the decision that it was a barricade situation was a wrong one. we heard from the texas public safety director, stephen mcgraw, this is what he had to say. by the way, texas embraces active shooter training, active shooter certification. that doctrine requires i don t care what agency your from. you do not need a leader on the
i artie said that. i already said that. first of all the active shooter doctrine, the active shooter doctrine as long as there are kids and someone is firing you go to the gun. you find them and neutralize them period. there were some nuances with going transition to a barricaded subject. also transitioning to a hostage situation, and of course, that decision at the scene was that this is still a barricaded subject that didn t go back to an active shooter. where is the police chief? stephen: because i am here to address the latest on the facts. you re certainly welcome to reach out to him. i prefer hold on, hold on. how many children
after the incident where there were shots being fired from the funeral home? stephen: bottom line is we reported what happen. the door was propped open it wasn t supposed to be propped open it was supposed to be locked. certainly the teacher that went back for her cell phone propped it open again. that was an access point the subject use. [speaking over each other] you said in hindsight mistakes were made in democratic congressman s config fbi to investigate response here. who will be held accountable? stephen: we welcome the fbi there s a reason there is a special agent in charge behind me right now. they play a vital role. again, this is about finding facts and reporting fact as quick as we can. it s not about trying to defend or trying to assess or even it s about the facts. sharing whatever we learned on the facts as quick as we can be as transparent as we can.
