“We just ran to get to cover,” Daniel said. “And [the teacher] grabbed the key, and it broke and just jammed” in the door.Initially, Daniel said he could hear the gunman firing on another classroom at the end of a hallway. Ruiz said there are about eight classrooms in that wing of the school, but several were probably unoccupied because students were at lunch or in gym class.

“He then shot like two or three bullets, and then the glass broke, but like a bullet hit the wall, and bounced off and tried to hit us, but it hit her nose,” Daniel said. “He then shot like two more bullets, and then he stopped and then went back to the classroom next to us.”On Wednesday, Texas law enforcement officials said it took about an hour for police officers to find and shoot the gunman and rescue the students. Daniel believes it took about 2 hours for his classroom to be evacuated.

As she stood outside the school, Ruiz and other parents were confused as to why police officers at the scene were not entering the building to confront the gunman. She watched panicked fathers attempt to tear down a fence to enter the school to rescue their children. Ruiz and other mothers started screaming at anyone they could find, demanding answers about what was going on inside the school.

“We could hear a cop telling him to come out and stuff,” Daniel said. “We heard the cop say put your handgun down, and put the rest of your guns down, and come out of the classroom.”

Police inaction moves to center of Uvalde shooting probeThe actions - or more notably, the inaction - of a school district police chief and other law enforcement officers have become the centre of the investigation into this week&x27;s shocking school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. So there were numerous heavily armed and trained police officers on the scene that failed to take any action against the gunman but senior politicians and the NRA suggest arming teachers is the answer 🤦‍♂️ I would hope so, this is not good enough. I heard one officer actually had the time to arrest a mother that was trying to get into the school to rescue her baby. WTAF 😡 That puts an end to the Bullshit argument that the only way to deal with a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun....how about take away that gun in the first place....thats what we did in Australia, and it worked!

After horror, failure of Uvalde massacre, business as usual at NRA meeting in HoustonFormer US president Donald Trump, the star attraction of the event, called for teachers to be armed and for it to be easier to confine 'the violent and mentally deranged into mental institutions.' texas trump roddelementary ROFL if it wasn't so tragic. If they make it easier for the mentally deranged to be locked up, Trump would be the first one locked up. Teachers shouldn’t be armed for fuck’s sakes, gun control just needs to be exercised. It’s not fucking hard. Teachers don’t get paid enough to be responsible for shooting a teenager with an assault rifle. Perfect solution! Let's arm the teachers. That'll prevent more gun deaths and massacres. I seriously can't believe the utter stupidity of these gun loving Americans.

Top cop admits police ‘made the wrong decision’ during Uvalde school shootingTexas' top cop admits officers made the 'wrong decision period' after it was revealed police waited outside a classroom for 45 minutes while killer Salvador Ramos was inside with students and teachers. Soooo sad I expect there's some sort of rules that they have to follow.😈 Police cannot do anything right these days, if they shoot an armed suspect they get slated, if they delay going in, they get slated. If the police had shot this guy, before he did anything, the woke groups and media would still be crucifying them.
