DALLAS — Police officers were in the hallway and armed with rifles and at least one ballistic shield within 19 minutes after a gunman arrived at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a new development that raises more questions and criticism about law enforcement’s response to the massacre, according to a new report from The Austin American-Statesman.
Authorities reconstructed a timeline of the May 24 shooting using footage from inside the school and body camera video from more than a dozen officers, according to the American-Statesman.
Investigators say the latest information indicates officers had more than enough firepower and protection to take down the gunman, the American-Statesman reported. The shooter, an 18-year-old who walked into the school with an AR-15, killed 19 children and two teachers.
