shield. there also appear to be at least two rifles there. that picture was taken at 11:52 a.m. that s just 19 minutes after the gunman first entered the school. and 58 minutes before officers took him down. now, there s another picture obtained by the texas tribune this time that shows multiple officers armed with rifles there. ballistic shields, multiple shields. and axe-like tools. most of which the tribune reports were never deployed. now, we must note, we do not know at what point in the standoff this image was taken. but it does seem by these images that police were well equipped to storm the gunman. and this is raising new questions and understandably new anger about the police response by uvalde officers. we re also learning that some officers on the scene questioned the plan, as confusion delayed the breaching of the classrooms with kids still inside. rosa flores is live in san antonio this morning. rosa, with the new images that really just delve further in to w
response, while the gunman was inside that classroom. we now know, some of the pictures there, 11 officers responded to the school within three minutes and those images show officers not only heavily armed in the hallway, but also with protective gear. they still waited 58 minutes to enter that classroom, take down the shooter. cnn s rosa flores has the latest on the investigation. i find it shameful we had almost 100 officers on the scene and i had to leave work and save my own. outrage palpable in uvalde, texas, as first image from inside robb elementary during the shooting is released. this surveillance picture shows officers standing in the school s hallway with rifles and a ballistic shield with a time stamp of 19 minutes after officials say the gunman entered the school. it shows in the minds of at least some investigators reviewing what happened that day is that authorities had adequate firepower and adequate protective equipment, 58 minutes past from the time we
first glimpse. with regard to the responding officers, as you mentioned, this deepens the question about the total police response and why they did not act sooner to try to take down the gunman. according to investigators and other people who have looked at this photograph, they are baffled as to why police did not act sooner, knowing that they had in their minds, in the minds of people who have reviewed this evidence, that they had not only the sufficient equipment but sufficient firepower to try to breach that classroom door. because it wasn t a pistol of theirs versus an ar-15-style rifle of his, right? they were matching him on firepower. well, brianna, that s actually a very good point. initially i think the public, to some extent, was led to believe that those early responding officers and while it may be true for the earliest responding officers, but i think the public was led to believe that officers and those early minutes only had pistols, as a matter of fact i
with lawrence o donnell. good evening, lawrence. good evening, rachel. and i will see you tomorrow night, also on the panel discussion, and leitao will do the last word to 10 pm. i think tomorrow, rachel, the case about what happened in georgia it s gonna be clearer than ever to this country. and i long felt that that is where the clearest case of criminal conduct is to be found. i think that, i think that isim for the crime to happen on tape, and be released as soon as it happens, that should just be a new rule, that you have to crime on tape, and the tape has to be on tv that night. that helps, i think, in terms of this like, simple-ing it down so that we can all get it. you know, i ve listened to many hours of wired taps by the fbi investigations that they brought to court. and you know, you listen to the, what did he say, what did he mean, what was that. and he kind of mumbled that thing. there s a lot of interpretation that goes into it. they wire tap, and that s r
