In a report done by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center, officials identified three missed opportunities to slow or stop the Uvalde school shooter.

There's also details about how some of the 19 kids and two teachers killed could have been saved on May 24.

In the report it shows details at 11:33 am, an officer saw the suspect carrying a rifle outside of the school but took eyes off him to ask for permission to fire but by the time the officer turned around, the suspect was already inside. CBS 11 asked him based on this experience with law enforcement and training police officers and departments, if it's typical for officers to ask for permission when it comes to something like this.

The officer, armed with a rifle, asked his supervisor for permission to shoot the suspect. However, the supervisor either did not hear or responded too late, the report stated. The officer then turned to get confirmation from his supervisor, but when he turned back around, the suspect had already made his way inside.
