![]() And you know, people are not, most people at least are not trying to just throw out blame randomly. They raised a lot of questions and from the people I`ve spoken here, especially those who had children inside that school, it`s really cost them some credibility. And what the Texas DPS did today was they raised confusion. And that has only made things more confusing for those who want - they want some answers. He said, like, I`m going to not answer any more questions. But what really made all of this so complicated is that the spokesman gave us a little bit of a timeline, started answering questions, and then was hammered repeatedly by multiple reporters here, saying, wait a second, you have to explain what happened in that hour. It was this long arduous wait for the arrival of the Border Patrol team that came in and so now folks are saying, I don`t get it. That was not requested or apparently not requested. They have the type of equipment that can open just about anything. The fire department has breaching equipment because people get stuck in cars and car accidents. But when they didn`t have necessarily the equipment to breach in, what they did not do is, for instance, call the fire department. Lights and siren, they would have been here lickety-split. Why the officers, at least one of them, did not retreat to an area where there was video that they could monitor, at least something or back the videotape up with the security tape to determine a few things that might have assisted on them?Īnd I guess ultimately here the question the parents are asking is, were children that could still be alive, were they killed because the officers didn`t go in? Now the police department is 1.2 miles from here. ![]() Why something wasn`t done earlier is unclear. But that`s with the Border Patrol coming in with their specially trained folks. We know that they had to get the key, where they eventually got in. Why did the officers remain outside for an hour? Now, to breach in the door, the door was locked. That is what family members and residents in this community are all asking. ![]() ![]() So how many children may still have been alive that were then killed in that hour, let`s say, 50-minute period.Īnd that is what we asked out here. They did not detail how often the gun was fired afterwards. So with a lack of negotiation, it then leads to the next important question, which is, why did the officer spend up to an hour outside and not attempt to breach in? Now, the authorities say with their analysis of all of this, there appears to have been most of the gunfire very early on into the time that the gunman was in that classroom. And it only took a few questions about, was this a negotiation? Was there a response? Or was this just officers yelling into the room?Īnd there was no response. I think the term they said they were negotiating. KERRY SANDERS, NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Well, one of the things that was raised at the news conference in the initial statement was that the officers who were outside the classroom were attempting to negotiate. That`s a change, that the shooter was able to walk in through an unlocked door. ![]() #NICOLE WALLACE LIPSTICK UPDATE#A statement update says that now no school official confronted the shooter outside the school. But there are some aspects of this painful story that are getting extra scrutiny today. If you watched the news, you`re familiar with that process. There is room, of course, for Monday morning quarterbacking and room to update information as it comes in. Now we`ve covered these issues - these types of incidents before. Law enforcement has reversed what was the initial statement about this. The gunman was inside the school, we`re learning, for nearly an hour before being fully confronted and killed. There is scrutiny on the police response itself to this shooter who murdered 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. Tonight this story continues to take some turns that are significant even as the nation continues to reel and grieve. ![]()
