Turns out now we're learning that the rob elementary school teacher
who was accused of allegedly propping and an exterior door open.
Which then allegedly let the mass shooter into the classroom,
I didn't actually do so at all.
It's yet another part of the shooting.
Another part of the story that is changing after officials in
the area told us something completely different.
So in other words, more of the critical details of the Uvalde Texas shooting,
school shooting are changing.
Which continues to raise questions about what the intent has been in
regard to the police officials in the area.
So let me explain, investigators initially said the teacher had
propped the door open with a rock and did not remove it.
Before Salvador Ramos, 18, entered the school, but
investigators have now determined that the teacher removed the rock.
And closed the door when she realized there was a shooter on campus but
that it did not lock.
And that's according to Travis Considine,
who is a chief communications officer for the Texas department of public safety.
So the teacher did initially prop the door open but
then she ran back inside to get her phone and called 911.
When Ramos had crashed his truck.
So apparently there were some workers at a funeral home nearby.
And they were yelling to the teacher to let her know that this guy was
a threat, okay.
She came back out while her, I'm sorry, she came back out while on her phone.
She heard someone yell, he has a gun,
she saw him jump the fence and that he had a gun.
So she ran back inside removing the rock when she did,
we did verify, she closed the door.
The door did not lock.
We know that much as and now investigators are looking into why it did not lock.
So the door is supposed to automatically lock according to what the officials
are saying.
Now, who knows whether or not that part of the story is gonna change yet again.
But we do know that based on what they have confirmed through their
preliminary investigation.
The teacher is not at fault here.
The teacher did not leave the door propped open.
Which leads me to ask,
why was there this effort to immediately jump to a conclusion about the teacher?
Which seemed to put blame on the educator in regard to
the terrible tragic events that happened that day.
The story keeps changing.
That's bad enough, but we need to ask, why the story keeps changing?
Why is it that the officials were so quick to point fingers at this teacher?
Especially when we're talking about police officials who decided
to stand outside for over an hour and do absolutely nothing.
As the 18 year old gunman was slaughtering students in that fourth grade classroom.
Now, the employees at the nearby funeral home, as I mentioned,
told her that Ramos had a gun and that's according to her lawyer.
The clarification about the door represents just one and there are many.
Just one of the shifts in authorities explanation of the massacres timeline.
They face mounting questions over why 80 minutes elapse.
From when the time officers were first called to the moment a tactical team
entered the locked classroom and killed.
Well, yeah, by the way, by the time the gunman was in the room,
the door had been locked.
But yeah, entered the locked classrooms and killed the gunman.
Now, meanwhile, the Uvalde School District police chief who was the incident
commander during the shooting.
Was actually sworn in as a member of the city council just yesterday.
Okay, so this is pretty terrible person,
at least incredibly ineffective and has bad judgment in terms of his job.
He got elected to the city council, he ended up getting sworn in yesterday.
Pedro Pete Arredondo has faced criticism for
the decision to have officers posted in the hallway, outside the classrooms.
Where the shooting took place, waiting for more than an hour to intervene.
Before a border patrol tactical team entered the room and killed the gunman.
Now we do have some more details on the criticism that the police are receiving.
As a result of their terrible way of handling this mass shooter.
And we do have some audio of the 911 dispatcher communicating to the cops.
What the students have been communicating to her,
the students who are in the classroom calling 911 begging for help.
So let's take a quick look at that video.
>> Officials say at least two children called 911 multiple times
begging police to come.
While the gunman was still inside their classroom.
The Texas Department of Public Safety director
says one child told the 911 operator, eight or nine students were still alive.
Audio from an unconfirmed source revealing at
some point law enforcement was aware kids were inside the classroom.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> At what
point do people not use some common sense here.
Listen to 911 calls that are coming in,
understand that kids are still alive inside.
And know that they have to go in there,
do their jobs under the active shooter protocol.
>> Yeah, I mean, and remember one of the arguments that would provide cover for
the cops was the idea that.
Maybe the cops thought that all the students had already been gunned down.
Or that the shooter had finished doing this terrible,
unspeakable act of violence.
No, the police, based on what we just heard with the 911 dispatcher.
Knew that there were still students inside who were alive people that
they should have cared about saving.
But they still waited an insane amount of time,
over an hour to do a damn thing about it.
Again, these are the alleged good guys with a gun who were so
cowardly that they refused to do anything for over an hour.
As literal fourth graders were being gunned down and
then the stories keep changing.
And so there is a state investigation into this police department.
There's also a DOJ investigation but there's also a new update to the Yuval,
the police department and its unwillingness to cooperate.
So let's go to the next video.
It describes that in more detail.
>> State officials say you've led schools police chief Peter Arredondo,
is no longer cooperating with its investigators.
After his initial interview,
law enforcement sources say you've led police and you value schools police.
Are also not complying but the state later released a statement saying both
agencies have been cooperating.
Several law enforcement sources tell ABC news on Arredondo's
refusal comes after the Texas DPS director.
Called you values police delayed response the wrong decision.
Arredondo reportedly ordered technical teams to not go into a classroom.
Wrongly believing there was a barricaded subject, not an active shooter.
An ABC news has learned that your quality schools police were trained in March to
confront active shooters.
The response that day last week, now under state and federal investigation.
>> So state and federal investigation,
we'll see what that investigation turns up.
But just for further clarification in regard to the your body police department.
And its cooperation with these investigations according to
the Texas Department of Public Safety.
A spokesperson for them said this.
The Uvalde Police Department in Uvalde CISD police have been
cooperating with investigators.
The chief of the Uvalde CISD police provided an initial interview.
This is Arredondo but was not or has not responded to a request for
a follow up interview.
With the Texas rangers that was made two days ago.
So it appears that he at first started to cooperate with the investigation.
He later decided not to cooperate with the investigation.
Probably because he advised the officers to handle or
respond to the mass shooting in the worst possible way.
Which is not really responding at all until more than an hour had passed.
So that's where we are.
Who knows what else is likely to change?
But you can understand the rage that people are feeling.
Certainly the parents who were taste as they were begging the cops to do
something.
You can understand the rage that they're feeling.
They want answers.
They wanna know why they receive so much misinformation,
in regard to the press conference.
That the officials had given after the shooting and people deserve answers.
But at the end of the day, blaming a teacher for
even if she had accidentally left the door open.
The teacher is not the one at fault.
Everything else, all the scapegoats that gun advocates and
the police department are currently trying to find.
Don't get distracted by the squirrels that they're throwing your way.
At the end of the day the biggest issue here,
is the ongoing massacres that we see in this country.
As a result of easy access to all sorts of weapons, all sorts of assault weapons.
That's certainly an 18 year old should not have access to an 18 year old who doesn't
even have the legal right to drink alcohol.
Somehow, has the ability to buy these weapons that cause mass destruction in
fourth grade classroom.
19 students dead, two teachers dead,
21 people brutalized, murdered by this 18 year old.
And the idea that we need to focus on one teacher who allegedly,
now it turns out it's not true.
But was accused of propping the door open, nonsense.
Okay, don't get distracted by their made up scapegoats.
Focus on what the real issue is here.
Laxed regulations on guns and the corrupt, disgusting,
craven politicians who provide cover for the gun lobby.
And the profit motives that the gun lobby's have.
