re outlines a series of failures by multiple law enforcement agencies, describing "an overall lackadaisical approach" by authorities on the scene of the shooting in which 21 people were killed.
But it marks the first time since the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary that a government report has offered a comprehensive look at the shooting and the law enforcement response, which has been heavily criticized. Texas Department of Public Safety Director Col. Steven McCraw called authorities' response an "abject failure" in a hearing before a Texas Senate committee last month, placing blame at the feet of the on-scene commander, who state authorities have identified as district police chief Pedro "Pete" Arredondo.
Of the 376 responders, 149 were from the United States Border Patrol, 14 were from the Department of Homeland Security and 91 were from the Texas DPS.Ultimately, the report found "the entirety of law enforcement and its training, preparation, and response shares systemic responsibility for many missed opportunities."
The school district superintendent and other school staff were denied entry to the meeting by several families, said one source, who described the meeting as "brutal ... a lot of emotion." But the investigative committee "believes this interim report constitutes the most compelling telling to date," though "some aspects of these interim findings may be disputed or disproven in the future."The document, which was made available to the victims' families, is described as an "interim report," with the investigative committee noting its work remains incomplete and that multiple investigations remain underway.
A news conference is scheduled for Sunday afternoon for members of the press to ask the committee questions.The surveillance footage shows that law enforcement entered the school minutes after the gunman, who had already gone inside the two adjoining classrooms where he would kill the victims. According to the committee's report, first responders "lost critical momentum" by treating the situation as a "barricaded subject" scenario, which calls for a more measured response compared to an active shooter.
Cowardice of the highest order.
We, the citizens, found willful collusion to murder innocent children, in an attempt to undermine the constitution.
Because it was a false flag
But good guys with guns, and one door will solve everything.
