Law enforcement officials evacuate students and staff from Robb Elementary School after a gunman entered a classroom and began shooting on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.The top two law enforcement officials in San Antonio leave no doubt how their officers must respond to a mass shooting.

Those tools might eliminate the need for the first-responding officers to wait for backup, additional tools or keys — as officers did in Uvalde. Ramos was in the classrooms for more than an hour before officers killed him. The long delay, while some of the fourth-grade students and teachers were calling 911, contradicts several training materials, policies and reports reviewed by the San Antonio Express-News on how police should handle an active-shooter situation.

He then took her pickup and drove a few blocks to Robb Elementary, crashing into a ditch about 11:28 a.m. He headed to the school with his rifle and multiple large-capacity clips, entering through an unlocked door.
