Uvalde Officers Had Rifles & Ballistics Shield on Site in Minutes – Waited Almost an HOUR to Enter Classroom (report)
New evidence shows officers were inside the Uvalde Robb Elementary School with rifles and at least one ballistic shield for a full 58 minutes before finally breaching the classroom.
A special agent from the Texas dept of public safety was told by officers that they weren’t sure if children were inside the classroom, and believed they had time to find keys and wait for a tactical team with equipment.
According to a report by the San Antonio Express-News, the classrooms were not in fact even locked and nobody had checked if they were.
A Senate committee will hold a public hearing Tuesday and Wednesday with testimony on school safety and police training will be heard.
