than an hour while children inside were calling 9-1-1, begging for help. waiting because they apparently believed it was a barricaded subject situation. the police, not an active shooter. that was the wrong decision. texas officials say. a bit of hindsight, where i m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision. it was the wrong decision. very wrong. there s no excuse for that. there are so many unanswered questions tonight. but let s not lose sight about what this is all about. 19 children shot to death in their classroom, to teachers losing their lives as they try to save their students. and a country demanding to know how we stop this. cnn s 11 errors in uvalde tonight. ed, this is absolutely horrifying, this admission. what is the latest? one thing you need to remember is that for officers to work on school campuses, they go through a training mission. part of that, essentially outlines that if officers in these situations are not willing to go into these ro
texas attacked an elementary school and killed 21 people. 19 of them, children. and while it is common for new details to emerge after the so-called fog of war lifts, the basic facts of the police response to this particular shooting have changed. and then, they changed again. and today, officials try yet again, to lay out a timeline of the response to this attack, to an increasingly skeptical press corps and public. and this version, the one we heard today, painted a shocking picture of what now looks to be an extraordinarily inept police response, that allowed the government to be locked in a classroom with children, who were still alive for more than an hour! here s today s version of what happened on tuesday, may 24th. at 11:27 am, central time, a teacher at robb elementary school in uvalde, texas, walks out of the building, and props the door open. and that teacher sees a truck crash behind the school. by 11:28 am, she is rushed back into the school to get her phone, lea
ayman, have a good weekend. thank you, my friend. we ll be watching. all right. it was the wrong decision. that s what the top law enforcement official in texas admitted today, as outrage grows over why it took police so long to stop the gunman at robb elementary school in uvalde, texas. that gap and police intervention is even more glaring, after we learned new details about the timeline today. minutes after the gunman crashed his vehicle, he was already firing shots outside at the school. a school resource officer, who was not on the school grounds, heard the 9-1-1 call, and responded. but actually, he drove past the shooter, according to officials. at 11:33 am, the shooter enters the school, and fires more than 100 rounds in four minutes. two minutes after that, three officers arrived, and enter the school, exchanging gunfire with the shooter. by 12:03 pm, as many as 19 officers are in a hallway inside the school at the same time, one student calls 9-1-1, and whisper
this is according to two senior law enforcement officials. authorities say that students were trapped inside the classroom with the gunman and repeatedly called 9-1-1 as local officers waited in the hallway for nearly an hour to take action. following days of confusion and misinformation, we are getting the clearest timeline yet. around 11:30 am, the shooter crashed his car. a 9-1-1 car was placed. shooting began outside of the school. within minutes, the scooter entered the school and fired off 100 rounds. by 12:03 pm, nearly 20 officers stood in a hallway outside of the classrooms. it was not until 12:50 that the classroom was reached using cues from the gender. by 12:58, the shooter was killed. some of the children who survived the massacre are describing what they saw, while desperately waiting for help to arrive. we were watching a movie. we heard banging. my teacher got up to see what it was was. she said, oh my god, he has a gun. when he started shooting we hid behin
i was telling my friend to not talk. [speaking spanish] she cried a lot. according to the cdc, guns are now the leading cause of death among children than adolescents in america. it jumps a 30% between 2019 and 2020. according to the washington post, more than 311,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since columbine, in 1999. of course, republicans are suggesting to keep the schools as virtual prisons to deal with this problem. we need serious funding to upgrade our schools. this is to install bulletproof doors and locking classroom doors ultimately. as we all know, what s stops, armed, that guys, is armed good guys. i hate to break it to cancun crews there but that the armed guys were not much help. the police admit to a stunning string of failures. 19 police officers waited in the hallway for nearly an hour as these children were trapped with a gunman, before even attempting to breach the classroom. why the hesitation? one lieutenant saying that they
