'Send the police now': Kids called 911 from Texas classroom as police waited

At least two children called the 911 emergency number from connecting fourth-grade classrooms after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, according to Colonel Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. Ramos killed 19 children and two teachers.

“From the benefit of hindsight where I’m sitting now, of course, it was not the right decision,” McCraw said. “It was the wrong decision.”Article content Someone whom McCraw did not identify called at 12:16 p.m. and told police that there were still “eight to nine” students alive, the colonel said. Three shots were heard during a call made at 12:21 p.m.

Several officers had an initial exchange of gunfire with Ramos shortly after he entered the school at 11:33 a.m., when two officers were grazed by bullets and took cover. There were as many as 19 officers in the hallway by 12:03 p.m., McCraw said — the same time that the first 911 call from inside the classroom was received.

Those poor kids, being taught drills, taught that these people would come save them if something like this happened. They were let down hard. My heart hurts for the families and school staff.

Texas police stood outside classroom for more than 45 minutes before confronting gunman, authorities sayOfficials said on Friday that the on-site commander believed ‘they had time to organize’ to get into the classroom because the gunman was barricaded and ‘there was no more threat to the children’ This is why some teachers in schools need to be armed. They must have gone to the same school as Ottawa police. A tragedy made worse by an incompetent response by police.
