UVALDE HOAX: FINALLY, after FOUR DAYS (..drum roll, maestro)

Video Transcript:

We've got new details about a series of events with Chelef students, Voterable Tuesday, none have drawn more scrutiny than the massive breakdown in communication that kept officers in the hallway, even as children begged 911 dispatchers for help. Kensvib reporter Matt Houston explains. UCISDPD hosted active shooter training. You Valley High School just two months ago. Their school officers would have heard this. First and foremost, stop the killing. Texas State University researchers helped develop this video showcasing the active shooter curriculum they created after Columbine. The feds endorsed their playbook, which is a nationwide gold standard. When you first get there, you got a lot going on. State law requires school officers to take this course, which says responders should first stop the shooter. But the training also says if an attacker is in an area where they're isolated, cannot escape and can do no more harm, officers don't have to go in. Instead, they should wait until other first responders arrive, treating the situation as a barricaded subject. The problem? The work children in that classroom that were at risk and it was in fact still an active shooter situation and not a barricaded subject. As many as 19 officers waited in the hallway even after 1203 when a student first called 911 from inside the classroom. She called again at 1216 and confirmed eight or nine kids were still alive. And 1247. She asked 911 to please and the police now. Students were in near constant contact with 911 dispatchers for 47 minutes. The commander UCISD's police chief either did not get that message or he ignored it. At 1250, a tactical team unlocked the door using a staff member's key and finally killed the shooter. We don't know whether this decision costs lives, but it certainly wasn't the only mistake made on Tuesday. Two doors that should have been closed or locked were left open. The initial responder, the police officer who arrived to the scene first mistook a teacher for the gunman and drove right past the actual suspect crouching behind a car. We're still waiting on DPS to get back to us on communication problems potentially between the 911 call center and the command inside. I'm Matt Houston. Kins-5.
