The fact that the police's response to the shooting at an elementary school in Texas, USA, which took the lives of 21 people, including 19 children, has been revealed one after another.



According to the Associated Press and Reuters on the 27th, 19 police officers were waiting in the hallway outside the classroom when shooter Salverdore Ramos (18) engaged in a genocide at Rob Elementary School in Uvaldy, Texas.



In particular, the children, who were terrified, called 911 and begged eight times to say, "Friends are dying" and "Send the police right now," but the police did not respond.



It was because the on-site commander at the time, Pydro Aridondo Uvaldi School District Police Chief, made the wrong decision.



Chief Aridondo misjudged it as a hostage confrontation rather than a shooting, even though the children fell by bullets at the time.



According to a timeline released today by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Ramos arrived at the school at 11:32 a.m. on the day of the incident and started shooting.



A minute later, the criminal broke into room 112 of the fourth grade classroom and fired over 100 rounds using an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.



About 10 police officers arrived at the scene at 11:35, but Ramos had locked the classroom door and two officers were shot by Ramos.



Then, by 11:44 p.m., 16 gunshots rang out in the classroom, and as additional officers arrived, 19 police officers were deployed in the hallway outside the classroom at 12:03 p.m.



At the exact same time, a girl in the classroom called 911 for the first time to call for rescue, and seven minutes later reported that many of her classmates had died.



Then, as sporadic shooting continued, urgent reports were received by 911: "Please send the police now" and "Only 8 or 9 children survived."



Despite the children's plea that their friend is dying, 19 police officers waiting in the hallway entered the classroom and did not subdue Ramos.



Instead, border patrol officers who were dispatched after receiving a request for assistance opened the classroom door at 12:50 p.m. and shot Ramos.



This was almost an hour and twenty minutes after Ramos broke into the classroom.



Also, for nearly 50 minutes after the children made their first rescue call, the police effectively left the perpetrator's genocide in the hallway outside the classroom.



The standard response guidelines for school shooters to kill or arrest in an immediate response, without wasting a second, were not followed at all.



Texas State Department of Public Safety Director Steve Macro said at a press conference on Wednesday that the police's response was "the wrong decision. There is no excuse."



The field commander, Chief Aridondo, explained that he misjudged the situation in which Ramos was barricading and holding children hostage in the classroom, Macros explained.



Did Chief Aridondo directly observe the situation at the time?



The New York Times (NYT) reported that Uvaldi police blocked the officers from entering the classroom immediately when armed officers of the Border Patrol arrived at the scene.



According to the timeline, federal agents arrived at the school at 12:15 p.m., but after 35 minutes without police permission, they entered the classroom and shot Ramos.



A law enforcement official said the border patrol officers did not understand why they had to wait, and it was not known why the local police special task force SWAT did not respond to the Ramos shooting first.



According to the Texas Department of Public Security, the school police stationed at Rob Elementary School at the time was in a nearby vehicle and did not engage Ramos at all.



Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who once praised the police response, changed his position.



"I was misled by the inaccurate information reported to me, and I am completely outraged," Abbott said, emphasizing a thorough investigation and finding the truth.
