The incident commander, the chief of Uvalde ISD Police, wrongly believed the incident had transitioned from an active shooter situation to a barricaded subject situation, where the suspect had stopped firing and barricaded himself in a classroom, no longer posing a threat to children, McCraw said.McCraw said there may have been a belief by the incident commander that no one was alive anymore inside the classrooms.

The person then called again at 12:13 p.m. and again at 12:16 p.m., when said there were eight to nine students who were still alive, McCraw said. At approximately 12:43 p.m. and 12:47 p.m., she asked 911 to please send the police now, McCraw said.

Texas official says police made 'the wrong decision' during Uvalde shootingNEW: A Texas public safety official said today the commander on scene during the Uvalde, Texas shooting made 'the wrong decision' in deciding not to breach the classrooms where the gunman had barricaded himself with students and teachers sooner. The director of the Texas Department of Public Safety said the commander considered the gunman barricaded and didn’t consider it an active-shooter situation despite 911 calls from inside the classrooms. 2 of the children who’d called 911 died. And a teacher had propped the door open when it was supposed to be locked. Oh awful! 🛑UvaldeMassacre Presser Texas DPS Director verifies: “Wrong decision” to wait to breach door, that ‘incident commander’ made on-site decision shooter no longer ‘active’ (persons alive) but ‘barricaded’.
