entering the elementary school. and we know more than an hour passed between the first 911 call and when the shooter was killed. police now acknowledge that tragic mistakes were made. the decision was made that this is barricade the subject situation, there was time to retrieve the keys and wait for a tactical team with the equipment to go ahead and breach the door and take on the subject at that point. that was the decision. it was the wrong decision, period. the incident commander has been identified as uvalde school district police chief pedro pete arredondo. he made two brief statements to the press on the day of the shooting and is not spoken since. texas governor greg abbott faced questions about the praise he initially offered the first responders after the shooting and he said he was misled. i was misled. i am livid about what happened. there are people who deserve answers most. and those are the families whose lives have been destroyed. they need answers that a
do something about it. i beg you. show it to the world. when he died, i died with him. you cannot out law tragedy but we can make america safer. we can do what we have to do to protect the lives of our people and our children. i m pamela brown in washington. you re live in the cnn newsroom. ch it s memorial day weekend, a time to honor men and women who died served in military. this year the nation approaches this holiday in grief and shock after two horrific mass shootings over the last two weeks. tomorrow, president biden will travel to uvalde, texas to mourn with the community heartbroken by tuesday s massacre. 19 children, mere 4th graders slaughtered along with their two teachers. today in buffalo, new york, vice president kamala harris attended the funeral of ruth wlhitfield. she s the last to be buried. i cannot even begin to express our collective ive pain nation for what you re feeling in such an extreme way. to not only lose someone that you love but throu
said today. the admission of a string of police failures including driving right by the gunman, ever how one girl cowering inside the cool called 911 five times. 20 officers stood in the hallway outside of the classrooms but it wasn t until 12:50 that the classroom was breached using keys from a janitor. mcgraw said the on-seen commander believed that this was a barricaded subject situation and did not think that there were more children at risk. he was then overwhelmed with reporters demanding an explanation into the time delay leading him to make this stunning admission. stand by. hey, stand by. from the benefit of hindsight where i m sitting now of course it was not the right decision. it was the wrong decision period. there s no excuse for that. the press conference also failed to translate questions and answers into spanish despite earlier promises that they would. again, a lot of the folks in this town speak spanish as a primary language. in espanol. no spanis
