Nobody knows what happened past the gunman entering g the building and three officers exchanging shots, two of them being wounded. And the local police are doing nothing to make the timeline make sense.
look, I’ve said this before, in this thread. Those officers were there for crowd control and scene management at that point. Stop more, highly concerned parents from entering an area that is an unknown. There have already been reports that over 80 LEO responded to the school. At least 5 different agencies. You are seeing a group of very concerned(rightfully so) parents that do not know the current situation, making it worse. These officers have been told to maintain a perimeter and keep folks out. That is their current concern. The shooting was over by the time this video was taken. There is crime tape already up. There are already buses there to transport children to the civic center to be reunited with their parents.
those 6-7 cops are doing exactly what they should be doing. The other 70-73, not seen in the video, we’re doing the job of containing and neutralizing the shooter, evacuating children and faculty from the building. You have to realize that a head count, names. A general accounting of students and staff needed to be done. Allowing parents to take their surviving children away from the school instead of a central location would only add to the confusing and then we’d be talking about process and procedure of accountability, etc, etc.
There is a presser later today. Hopefully, the FBI has advised the local police and Texas Rangers that they need to start providing g meaningful information at this presser and answer questions. Maybe some of the questions asked here will be answered. If not, This has been the worst handling of an incredibly sad and public event we’ve all seen to date.
