DPS chief Col. Steven McCraw cried as he admitted it was the 'clearly the wrong decision'. Police still do not know whether the shooter's victims were killed before or after police arrived at the scene

 

Texas ' Director of Public Safety Col. Steven McCgraw cried as he admitted it was 'clearly the wrong decision' when officers decided to contain gunman Salvador Ramos in a classroom at Robb Elementary instead of trying to take him out. 

Police still do not know whether the shooter's victims were killed before or after police arrived at the scene on Tuesday.  

This is how the shooting played out over the course of nearly two hours from when Ramos killed his grandmother at home. He arrived at the school at 11.28am and the first 911 calls were made. He then walked unobstructed into the building with his AR-15 and headed towards the classroom. He fought off cops at 11.44am, then was left alone in the room with the victims until around 12.44pm - when SWAT arrived. The incident was declared over at 1.06pm 

 

The Uvalde Police Chief thought that the shooting was over - that everyone inside the classroom had been killed, and that the only person inside who was alive was Ramos. He ordered the 19 cops outside not to breach the door and instead to wait for tactical squads but at least some of the victims inside were still alive with one calling 911 up until 12.47pm to beg the operator: 'Please send police now.'

The shooter fired his final shots at 12.21pm and was shot dead at 12.51pm. Choking on tears, McCgraw said at a highly charged press conference on Friday: 'Clearly it was the wrong decision. With the benefit of hindsight, from where I am sitting now - of course it was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision. There is no excuse,' he said.

Uvalde Police Chief Daniel  Rodriguez released a statement, part of which read 'It is important for our community to know that our Officers responded within minutes alongside Uvalde CISD Officers. Responding UPD Officers sustained gun-shot wounds from the suspect. Our entire department is thankful that the officers did not sustain any life-threatening injuries.'

 

Rodriguez has not been seen or heard from since the atrocity on Tuesday.
