How the law enforcement narrative of Uvalde school massacre has changed:
Law enforcement personnel guard the scene of a suspected shooting near Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, May 24, 2022., Texas Gov. Greg Abbott praised the "amazing courage" of law enforcement, saying the incident that left 19 students and two teachers dead "could have been worse" if the officers hadn't run toward the gunfire and eliminated the shooter.
But Boyce said what has not changed is the basic tenet of the active shooter doctrine created after the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado and shared by police departments across the country."The bedrock issue is to immediately go in and neutralize the threat," Boyce said. "People might say, 'Well, the cops weren’t wearing the proper vests.' My response to that is those kids had no vests on. So, I don’t want to hear that either.
"He continues walking towards the school," Escalon said of the suspect. "He climbs a fence. Now he's in the parking lot shooting at the school multiple times." "The teacher runs to the room, 132, to retrieve a phone, and that same teacher walks back to the exit door and the door remains propped open," McCraw said during a press conference.
McCraw admitted on Friday that mistakes were made on the ground in response to the active shooter incident. But Escalon said last week that children trapped inside with the killer, who was freely walking back and forth between adjoining classrooms, made numerous 911 calls pleading for help. Meanwhile, video has surfaced showing frantic parents outside the school as the shooting was unfolding pleading with police to go into the school and being held back by officers, some who appeared to be armed with semi-automatic rifles and wearing bulletproof vests.
