misinformation, including from the head of the agency, who sat next to the governor of the state and told the world in a very confident voice that there was a school resource officer who encountered the subject as he came into the school. then yesterday, we learned that that person didn t exist. there was no such school resource officer. then we learn other, new information, that the shooter actually exited his grandmother s truck, which he crashed outside the school, then fired shots at onlookers across the street. and then essentially was lingering outside the school for 12 minutes, firing shots, before he entered through an unlocked door, also new information, unimpeded, unobstructed, nobody confronted him. then we learned in this new and, again, all this information is coming from the same agency that has provided misinformation. we should take it all with a grain of salt. but according to the latest account, some local police officers, uvalde police officers, immediately rushed
initially. so from the grandmother s house to the school, into the school, he was not confronted by anybody. to clear the record on that. judge jeanine: shocking developments in the tragedy in texas the left 19 children into teachers dead. authorities updating the timeline on what happened and changing key facts. they now say that the gunman was not confronted by a school safety officer and instead was able to walk into what police think was a unlocked door at the school without any resistance. here s everything we know at this moment. 11:28 a.m. the gunman crashes his car near the school, gets out, and the meal he starts shooting it to people at a nearby funeral home. the suspect then jumps the school fence and starts firing at the building. at 11:40 a.m., the gunman enters the school unobstructed.
where? i guess he was coming from the school this way. reporter: they were frustrated police wouldn t let them help save their children, despite safety procedures that keep people away from an active crime scene. dads were screaming, give me the vest, i ll go inside. people just wanted to get their kids. reporter: according to investigators, the gunman walked in unobstructed and was inside the school for almost an hour before police forced their way into a classroom and killed him. he went in at 11:40. he walked, and i m going to proximate, 20 feet, 30 feet. he makes a right. he walks into the hallway. he makes a right. walks another 20 feet. turns left into a school room, into a classroom room that has doors open in the middle. we estimate 40 minutes to an hour. we re trying to establish how far were those officers inside the school? reporter: there was a standoff for close to half an hour after he fired on students
footprint that was going to be used for the event, if we applied the assembly occupancy, the fire code assembly occupancy formula, they could have had over 200,000 people in this venue. okay. that s just based on math. this venue was limited to 50,000 in that component. part of when we have large events, one of the things that we consider is to ensure that the crowds are subdivided. they had two separate stages, two separate areas. that was part of the plan. we had inspectors to ensure that the means of egress, the doors in and out of the that venue were maintained opened and unobstructed. these injuries did not occur as people tried to exit the venue. and that was evident by the, by the fact that once the event was terminated, that event, that
terminated, that event, that whole footprint was cleared out within the hour. 50,000. so the means of egress, okay, the exits, the doors were kept open, unobstructed. that was our assurance. what we re looking into is what caused the crowd surge, what led to the crowd surge and those incidents at the the point of the, of the where the concert was at, the stage. so, again, our role in this is to participate with the police department. we are going to be looking at films and the video as the chief mentioned, and we re going to insure that the items that should have been in place were in place and that we learn from this event. really quick, mayor, the permits that were issued for this for lpg, and we had inspectors to monitor that. we had permits for the pyro, for the pyrotechnics. inspectors were on scene for that. we had a permit for tents that were erected in the venue. we had inspectors for that.
