Officials Offer First Detailed Timeline Of Uvalde Shooting Police Response: 'An Abject Failure'



Steven McCraw, head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said there were enough officers to stop the gunman just three minutes into the Robb Elementary School mass shooting. Instead, he says, they waited for over an hour, including for a “key that was never needed.” School police chief Pete Arredondo ignored questions from reporters today after testifying behind closed doors.

  1. BEWARE OF ORGANIZED HARASSMENT, GANG STALKING.

  2. The question why? Discrimination
    but if it is necessary to arrest a Hispanic or African American they break down doors without order or permission of any kind.

  3. I can see have to hart work to geter enter school chack vidio

  4. Chack vidio i see one pesun enter the dor for the gun man

  5. Arredondo seems to like waiting ..Let the coward wait on our pleasure. In prison

  6. This is disgusting, all of them have blood on their hands!

  7. Probably done by USA's KKK.

  8. They had a job to do, hold and let numbers get higher, they knew what they were doing, illegal gun sales have skyrocketed since then, mission accomplished. This is what your government does…🤷‍♂️

  9. Only thing I trust that chief do is pointing me to the nearest donut shop.

  10. Texans always act like they are the bravest of the brave lol.

  11. If they aren't gonna use the BULLET PROOF COVER to stop a school shooter.. we should take away the cops military surplus toys. A waste of tax dollars that could be used to make the next school more secure..since the cops are useless

  12. Their cowardice will never be forgotten or forgiven.

  13. Q. Why do Americans walk around imitating a flock of chickens saying "like, like, like"?

    A. So they can attract game animals and shoot them with AR15s.

    Q. Why does an American need an AR15 to hunt?

    A. Join the rest of the world where mass shootings don't exist and are extremely rare.

  14. Over 280 American mass shootings this year in the ONLY country on Earth that has school shootings.

    'Amend' means 'to change' or 'put right'. The US constitution has already been amended 27 times.

    Ban Americans from international travel to control the spread of stupidity and amend Amendment 2.

    American parents protest at school meetings about? A: School shootings B: Masks..

  15. Chief Arredondo needs to be fired shouldn’t be allow to have any type of government jobs. This guy is just there for his salary and the benefits and not there to serve the public.

  16. Can’t figure out why not one of them ever took charge if no one was doing anything? All those police… not one will take charge. Cowards. If the killer got in an unlocked door that a security guard left open these officers who are to “protect & serve” could not figure it out? Sounded like BS from day 1. Still does

  17. You've had newest reports about the officers 19 children are dead but the officers are walking around everyone should be fired I'm a citizen of the United States that's why I'm making a statement I made other statements about that you know you can have all the meetings in the world you want. But 19 children are dead and two teachers while you're making reports

  18. Absolute & total cowards who should NEVER be allowed to work another shift "protecting and serving" because they don't know the meaning of those words. Those innocent children completely helpless, terrified and begging for help while they just stood there with their weapons and their bullet proof vests and allowed this monster to torture, terrify and ultimately murder babies. Were none of those officers parents themselves? I ask that because I am a mother, first and foremost that is my job in life, to protect my daughter at all costs. To give my life so that she may live on. Not one of them stepped up, not even one of them. Back in 2010 the high school that I attended and my daughter had just graduated from months earlier was faced with a school shooter and on that day we don't know how many lives were saved by the incredibly brave actions of our hero, officer Carolyn Gudger. What we do know is how many students, teachers, and staff members that we lost on that day and the number is 0. The shooter came into the school behind a student who was running late. He was a deranged man armed with guns and intent on using them. He held a gun to our principal's head and officer Gudger inserted herself between the Principle and the gunman, telling her to run to the safety of the main office. This shooter had intended to pull the fire alarm so the hallways would be filled with students and teachers, all of which were his intended targets. Officer Gudger was not about to let that happen. Not on her watch. What followed was a stand off between officer Gudger and the gunman as she tried desperately to diffuse the situation, all the while walking the gunman slowly away from the most heavily occupied area of the school into the least occupied area of the school where he was essentially trapped with nowhere to go and she had total control over the situation. What the shooter didn't know was that the area where she led him as she tried to diffuse the situation has a "hidden entrance" that was right behind him, which is where her backup officers entered and in the end they had no choice but to use deadly force. Officer Gudger is this really short little woman but what she lacks in stature she makes up for with the heart of a lion, a dedication to fulfill the oath that she took to protect & serve and the courage & bravery to do what she is trained to do and that is put her life on the line for those she is charged with protecting. It saddens me greatly that this amazing, courageous, humble, dedicated, heroic woman never made the news, except locally of course. What she did on that day was remarkable and we love her dearly. Makes you wonder why the media wasn't interested in covering this story. The school is Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, TN, the date was Aug 30, 2010 and our School Resource Officer, who was also a local police officer, and our hero is named Carolyn Gudger. I share this story often so that more people will learn about the hero that lives among us named Officer Carolyn Gudger. It is my hope that this story may also provide hope at a time when these events are happening all too often and people are losing hope of ever finding a solution to prevent this from happening again so that our children can once again go to school & learn without constant fear of fighting for their lives. I know this a lengthy post and if you made it to the end, God bless you and feel free to share this story that the media should have shared

  19. They only had pistols he said? Kids only had pencils dude.

  20. @1:35 "PATROL CAR DROVE BY SHOOTER." …
