Investigations of the Uvalde police and other law enforcement present at the scene continue. Sadly 400 officers were present at the elementary school. And no one rushed in to take down the shooter for almost an hour and a half.
The myriad of investigations doesn’t seem to be taking into account what happened outside the school. Because no one is asking the parents. And they have a much different story than the police.
Hundreds of Uvalde citizens were impacted. Uvalde is a close community of around 15,000. And 21 lives were lost in the massacre along with dozens of wounded.
Uvalde Mom was a hero
For almost an hour and a half after the gunman entered the school police were in a hallway in Robb elementary. And while refusing to confront the gunman they were confrontational with the parents outside the building.
Mom of 2 students Angeli Gomez described her interactions with the police.” He says, ‘you are very close,” and I said ‘I don’t need you to protect me. I don’t need your protection, what you need to do is go and protect my kids who are in there.’”
