Uvalde mass shooting: Wounded teacher condemns police as cowards

A teacher wounded in a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, has criticised police as "cowards" for delaying taking action while his pupils were killed.he said he told his students to pretend to be asleep during the shooting.

The students were watching a film when shots broke out. He told them to hide under tables and pretend to be asleep, as they were taught.Mr Reyes was shot, then took the advice he had given his students and pretended to be asleep. As he lay near his desk, he could hear police who had rushed into the school only minutes behind the attacker.

"But they had already left. Then he [the killer] got up from behind my desk and he went over there and he began shooting again."After conflicting information, police now say the killer was holed up in the classroom for 77 minutes before police breached the door. Uvalde police have faced heavy criticism for the delay.

During the attack, children were frantically calling 911 to report multiple gunshot victims. Worried parents also tried to rush in, as police physically prevented them from entering.

People often don't do well in a crisis. They should not be in that situation to start with. Pointless loss of life and families destroyed. The police involved will suffer forever too, even more so with all the abuse they're getting. US gun lovers are to blame and noone else

They were. A mother went in and got her kids while the shooter was in the building! Angeli Gomez!

would something like a stun grenade be useful/advisable for teachers or security guards in suppressing any next mass-shooter?

A lot of brave people on this Twitter feed. Not one of you would have done anything

Perhaps they should be blaming the gunman and the readily available guns

😖💔😭I just can’t get over this. They failed the children and the teachers. BAN AR-15’s!

I really thought it was Ross Mathews

He is wrong, rank n file cops r no cowards. Senior leadership however r. Don't take out your rage on good men and women u r creating the next mass shooter with your hate.

If the police are cowards who’s going to protect them if you take guns?

This man is an absolute hero. Send him strength and love.

Honor is a foreign thing to these cops, and the living children suffer scars for life, and constantly under the threat of a madman. We have made a scary place for little kids.

True

True

Media must findout the reason of change in Police which had tried to break into the the school rooms until the police got one phone call.police dumped its plan breaking into the rooms, they started making barricades around suspect.A call of telling explosive made police changed?

Based

Coward is too polite a word for them

Correct
