Uvalde school shooting: Full timeline of how 'abject failure' happened HD

Law enforcement authorities had enough officers on the scene of the Uvalde school massacre to stop the gunman three minutes after he entered the building, the Texas public safety chief testified Tuesday, condemning the police response as an “abject failure.” Police officers with rifles instead stood and waited in a hallway for over an hour before they finally stormed the classroom and killed the gunman, putting an end to the May 24 attack that left 19 children and two teachers dead. Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told a state Senate hearing that the officers never checked a classroom door to see if it was locked. The classroom door, it turned out, could not be locked from the inside. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-shooting/uvalde-school-shooting-texas-state-police-condemn-response/285-12e11ac9-93a2-4b88-88f3-ca43694dadf3
