A partial video from the Uvalde mass shooting has been released.
Heartbreaking does not even begin to describe what took place.
After viewing the video, some serious questions need to be answered and someone needs to be held accountable.
The Shooting
The video is below, but there are some key moments to observe while watching it.
The video starts by showing the shooter arriving at the school.
There was an opportunity for the officer to take him out before he got near the school, but he never received permission to fire.
The shooting starts around the 11:33 a.m. mark on the video.
Thankfully, the screams of the victims have been removed, but you can hear the shots being fired.
Within three minutes, there are officers on scene, but at 11:37 a.m., additional shots are fired and the officers run for cover.
This is the critical moment where there were enough officers to overtake the shooter, but they retreated instead.
From that moment, more than an hour passed before the police take out the shooter, valuable time that could have been used to save those children.
Some other key moments to observe:
11:52 – tactical equipment arrives
12:21 – officers get into position to breach the room but hold
12:30 – look for the officer on the left that is playing on his phone and using hand sanitizer as though it is a typical day at the office
12:50 – more than an hour after contact, the officers breach the door and take out the shooter.
The video is below…
That video shows one thing… this was a complete failure at all levels from beginning to end and it starts with those officers retreating at 11:37.
