Expects Yuge Games
For nearly 50 minutes, children repeatedly called 911, pleading for help as a gunman terrorized them while a phalanx of officers waited outside their classrooms, Texas law enforcement acknowledged for the first time Friday, four days after the massacre of 21 people.
The explanation of the slow response to Tuesday’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., comes after state officials have offered contradictory and partial accounts of what happened in the days since to the frustration of parents. Officials now say the commander on the scene made a mistake by deciding the gunman had shifted from an active shooter to a “barricaded subject,” so they made no efforts to break down the door and get inside.
“Of course, with the benefit of hindsight … it was the wrong decision. Period,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven C. McCraw said during a news conference.
On Friday, Abbott said he was “misled” when he praised police earlier, now saying he is “livid about what happened" and would call for investigations into the response to the shooting.
