How could the fucking Police Chief NOT KNOW? Wasn't he IN
CHARGE???

The police chief in charge during the Uvalde, Texas school
massacre didn�t know that terrified kids locked inside a
classroom with the gunman were calling 911 during the slaughter,
a state lawmaker said Thursday.

State Sen. Roland Gutierrez said at a news conference that the
chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District
didn�t have access to the 911 calls when he made the decision to
wait to take out 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos.

�This is probably one of the worst investigations I�ve seen of
just about any crime scene in the last I-don�t-know-how-many
years, in the state of Texas and beyond,� Gutierrez told
reporters of the Robb Elementary School massacre that left 19
students and two teachers dead.

The city of Uvalde Police Department had access to the calls �
including one where a girl begged a dispatcher to �please send
cops now!� � but that information didn�t reach the school
district�s top cop Pete Arredondo, who was on the on-scene
commander during the carnage on Tuesday.

�I�m telling you not because I want to blame the entity. There
was error at every level, including legislatively,� said
Gutierrez, who represents Uvalde in the state Legislature. �We
need transparency and that hasn�t happened here.�

It was more than an hour from the time Ramos arrived at the
school to the moment a tactical unit fatally shot him in
adjoining classrooms.

Gutierrez said he asked state law enforcement for a list of
where the 19 officers were standing in a hallway outside two
interconnected classrooms where the gunman had locked himself in
with his victims. The lawmaker said he was told by the Texas
Department of Public Safety he�d get that list tomorrow and
would share it with the public.

He has also requested radio transmissions of the 911 calls, he
said � but he�s not sure they�ll be given to him.

�There is enough blame to go around. There was human error and
systemic failure,� Gutierrez said.

�My biggest concern is that there were 19 officers for 45
minutes who didn�t do anything.�

Ramos crashed a pickup truck in a ditch near the school at about
11:28 a.m. and popped out with an AR-15 style assault rifle. He
fired shots at the building and two bystanders at a funeral home
across the street before he walked into an unlocked door at
about 11:33 a.m., officials have said.

The first officers arrived minutes later but were pushed back by
gunfire. Backup soon arrived � with an estimated 19 officers
gathered inside the building by about 12:03 p.m.

But police didn�t open the door using a janitor�s key and
fatally shoot Ramos until 12:50 p.m., officials have said. The
lag has led to questions about whether lives could�ve been saved
if cops acted sooner.

Steven McCraw, director of the state Department of Public
Safety, has said Arredondo�s decision not to breach the door of
the classroom was �the wrong decision.� The US Department of
Justice is now probing local cops� response to the massacre.

Gutierrez had previously said that a parent of one of the young
victim�s had told him that her child bled out but might have
lived if she received medical treatment sooner.

�We have all failed. There�s been a lot of failure,� Guiterrez
said Thursday. �To the one family I�ve talked to, whose daughter
was shot one time only and likely bled out � I could only say
I�m sorry.�

Kill those who misuse guns and televise it.

Kill anyone else who objects, televise that too.
