>> OF COURSE IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT DECISION, IT WAS THE WRONG DECISION, PERIOD.
THERE WAS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.
I WASN’T THERE, BUT I’M JUST
TELLING YOU, FROM WHAT WE
KNOW, WE BELIEVE THERE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN AN ENTRY.
>> CRITICIZING THE SLOW
RESPONSE BY POLICE TO THE
SCHOOL MASSACRE IN UVALDE
>> THEY WANTED TO WAIT FOR A TACTICAL TEAM TO GET ON SCENE
TO BREACH THAT DOOR.
TODAY WE’VE LEARNED THAT
TACTICAL TEAM WAS ON SCENE FOR
35 MINUTES WHILE THAT GUNMAN
WAS STILL IN THE CLASSROOM.
THERE WERE ALSO 19 OFFICERS IN
THE SCHOOL ON CAMPUS WHILE
THIS WAS ALL GOING ON.
>> OF COURSE IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT DECISION, IT WAS THE WRONG DECISION, PERIOD.
NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.
>> OFFICERS WERE ON SCENE AT
11:44 BUT WOULDN’T BREACH THE
DOOR UNTIL 12:50, MORE THAN AN
HOUR LATER.
ALL WHILE 19 OFFICERS STOOD IN
THE HALLWAY WAITING FOR
JANITOR KEYS TO OPEN THE DOOR.
>> THE SUBJECT IS TRYING TO KEEP LAW ENFORCEMENT AT BAY OR ENTICE THEM TO COME HIM.
>> OUTSIDE, PARENTS PLEA WITH
POLICE TO DO MORE.
CHILDREN AND TEACHERS MADE
NUMEROUS 9-1-1 CALLS DURING
THE SHOOTING, BUT POLICE
BELIEVED IT WAS A RUSE,
THINKING THE SHOOTER WAS
TRYING TO ENTICE POLICE TO
COME IN.
THE CALLER PLACES TWO CALLS
AND SAYS THERE ARE ABOUT 8 OR
9 STUDENTS STILL ALIVE.
A 9-1-1 CALL PR THE SCHOOL
RECORDED THREE GUNSHOTS.
WE ALSO HEARD SEVERAL ACCOUNTS
FROM CHILDREN WHO PLAYED DEAD
TO SURVIVE.
>> WHEN HE WENT IN THE
CLASSROOM HE SAID "YOU’RE ALL
GONNA DIE" AND HE JUST STARTED
SHOOTING.
>> ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL SAID
SHE HEARD THE GUNMAN SAY
GOODNIGHT BEFORE SHOOTING HER
TEACHER.
HE THEN STOPPED SHOOTING AT
ONE POINT, PLAYING WHAT SHE
DESCRIBED AS SAD MUSIC.
THAT LITTLE GIRL ADDED THAT
SHE FELT SHE WAS IN THERE FOR
THREE HOURS AND ASKED WHERE
ARE POLICE.
THE OTHER QUESTION WE HAD IS
THE SHOOTER WAS BARRICADED IN
THERE.
WE KNOW THAT THE DOORS, BOTH
DOORS, THERE WERE TWO DOORS TO
THIS ADJOINED CLASSROOM THAT
WERE UNLOCKED.
THEY WERE LOCKED FROM THE
INSIDE BUT IT’S UNCLEAR IF
THEY WERE BARRICADED WITH
SOMETHING ELSE.
>> THESE DETAILS SO
HEARTBREAKING.
BRIDGETTE, WE DO KNOW POLICE
ALSO MENTIONED HOW MANY ROUNDS
WERE FIRED AT THE SCHOOL.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT.
>> YES, THEY SAY MOST OF THE
ROUNDS WERE FIRED IN THE
BEGINNING.
