A recording of the call obtained by ABC News – in a video filmed outside the school – reportedly took place at 12.13pm on 24 May, when officers had surrounded the building and waited inside a hallway, raising more questions about law enforcement’s delayed response, and whether their inaction led to more bloodshed. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in the massacre.
