AUSTIN, Texas — For the first time since the May 24 shooting, the public can now see portions of video from the scene of the Uvalde shooting, including the first ever images of the shooter carrying out the attack, after the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV published footage Tuesday.
The video, abridged and edited to removed children’s screams, depict how police amassed inside Robb Elementary School three minutes after the gunman entered, but failed to take action for more than an hour, defying active shooter training that calls on law enforcement officers to take out a threat even at the cost of their own lives.
The footage also has sound of the shooter firing dozens of shots just after entering a classroom, committing a mass shooting that ultimately claimed the lives of 19 children and two teachers.
