In it's report on the Robb Elementary shooting, the Department of Justice reports cited lack of leadership as one of the failures in the handling of the incident.

on May 24, 2022, investigators noted that “there were at least 10 stimulus events” where officers should have taken steps to stop the gunman.

Body camera video from UPD Officer Daniel Coronado and Officer Jesus Mendoza gave insight into some of what was happening outside at that time. The report said that was the first indication there were victims in the classroom. It also stated that Arredondo did not direct entry into the classrooms and instead called dispatchers, who referenced a call from a teacher who said a fellow teacher was wounded.

The report stated, “the also had sufficient training and equipment, as well as personnel, to engage the subject.” However, no officers entered the classroom. Officer Coronado and Officer Jesus Mendoza’s body camera video both illustrate that misinformation as it came out over the radio. “10-4 he’s male subject in the school on the west side of the building, he’s contained. We got multiple officers inside the building at this time. We believe he’s barricaded in one of the offices. Male subject is still shooting.”

During that time on Officer Coronado’s body camera, radio traffic suggests students are on campus. “The classrooms should be in session right now. The class should be in session Mrs. Mireles.” UPD Officer Coronado’s body camera shows a conversation with UCISD Chief Pete Arredondo. Arredondo says “We’re waiting for a master key.“Are we just waiting for BORTAC or what’s going on?,” an officer asks Pargas.As this is happening, multiple officers are outside breaking windows to classrooms to evacuate children in other classrooms around 111 and 112.

“We’ve got a child on the phone, multiple victims,” another officer answers. “A child just called, they have victims in there. They called 911″
