Just how rising we do.
Have a child on the line.
This was the moment everything at the
scene in Ivaldi should have changed.
At 12:10 PM on May 24th,
4th grader Chloe Torres,
who survived the shooting,
was inside room 112 at Rob
Elementary and spoke to 911.
Police just a few feet away in the hallway
were just minutes later made aware of
the worst case scenario was unfolding.
Chloe, along with her classmates
and teachers, some dead.
We're dying. We're alone,
trapped with an active shooter.
It's the phone call that should
have made the difference.
Instead, it would be another 40
minutes until police finally entered
the room and killed the gunman.
CNN has obtained the call,
never made public until now,
a warning to our viewers
it's painful to hear.
We're choosing to play portions
of the audio with the approval of
Chloe's parents and because it is
crucial to understanding the full
scope of the law enforcement failure.
That day.
Hello, I'm calling with the.
School shooting. Sir, are you
with officers or somewhere?
Classroom boys classroom.
21 oh 12112 one 12112 yes, ma'am.
Your name, ma'am? Please hurry,
there's a lot of dead body.
112. Listening. Should help.
You can hear injured people in
the room crying out in pain.
The dispatcher asks Chloe to tell
her classmates to stay quiet.
She does her best.
Quiet.
Because of me. I don't wanna see
how these situations my dad taught
me when I was a little girl.
Some help from my teachers.
So I put their shot
less than two minutes into the call.
At 12:12 PM, the Ivaldi dispatcher sends
an urgent message to police on the scene
32020 go ahead with that information.
Child is advising he is in
the room full of victims,
full of victims at this moment.
Can you confirm to see if that
shooter is still standing?
John and John.
If active shooter protocol had been followed,
this dispatch should have triggered police to
spring into action and breach the classroom.
Instead, 38 minutes were allowed to go
by as more officers arrive on scene with
more equipment until something is done.
Nearly 400 officers responded in Ivaldi.
Chloe wanted to know where they were.
They're inside of the building,
OK? You need to take care, OK?
You just need to stay quiet
on the other side of the door.
The law enforcement response
was disorganized and chaotic.
Official reports detailed a
catastrophic mistake that was made.
Police on scene thought the
shooter was a barricaded subject
and not an active shooter.
Cloes called makes it clear an active
shooter situation is unfolding.
Body camera footage from local and
state police departments obtained by
CNN shows the officers on scene knew
about the phone call and that there
were children inside the room hurt and
in desperate need of medical attention.
In nine children these are.
No, we hadn't heard that.
No, we're we're in the forge, right?
This is this is building force.
Anybody hurt? No, not here.
No, Sir. Here. In there already.
Yeah, he's in here.
He's in here. Yeah, right here.
Be ready for the last contact.
Hey, hold on. Last contact we
had was one of our school PD
officers. His wife was a teacher.
She called him saying she's not.
They just had her number of
kids in room 12. Yeah, 12.
