New information is breaking on the Uvalde, Texas school massacre alleging parents ran into the building to rescue their children, a commander incorrectly believed that no lives were at risk, a tactical team was delayed from entering, and the shooting spanned four classrooms.
NBC News and other media outlets are covering new details that have emerged Friday concerning the mass shooting with Fox News reporting on a timeline of events.
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Willie Geist brought correspondent Sam Brock on-air to discuss the tragedy at Robb Elementary School that ended in the deaths of 19 children and two teachers.
He discussed how details of the incident provided by the police are being contradicted by parents and information given to the media.
“What we have heard from local law enforcement officials here is not only confusing but utterly conflicted,” Brock asserted.

“They were trying to rip down fences, break into windows to get into that school building so they could do whatever possible to try to save their kids’ lives. And ultimately, 19 children between the ages of 8 and 10, 4th graders, murdered as an hour goes by,” the reporter intoned.
“And that really is the heart of this investigation right now. And so many questions surrounding that very issue. Why do you have a Texas law enforcement agency saying the protocol was to wait for this sort of more tactical assistance and special forces to arrive to handle the situation where there were kids dying by the minute inside of that school?” Brock asked.
“And where, you know, you mentioned one classroom, originally we were told that all of the victims were in that one location. And now it appears that there were four classrooms with kids and potentially teachers affected,” he charged.
“We now have firsthand accounts from parents who say they, in fact, did go into the school and get their kids. They just weren’t going to wait anymore,” Geist noted.
That report follows on the heels of one put out by the Wall Street Journal that gave an account by a woman named Angeli Rose Gomez, who claimed after she was released from handcuffs, she rushed into the school and got her two children out while the police officers waited outside.
The Wall Street Journal is also reporting that “Police who responded to the mass shooting at an elementary school here waited around an hour to enter the classroom where the gunman had locked himself because a commander on scene incorrectly thought no lives were at risk despite repeated 911 calls from children inside, the director of the Texas Department of Safety said Friday.”
The #Uvalde timeline offered by Texas officials right now is gutting. There were 19 police officers in the hallway who made the decision not to break into the room, at the same time children inside were alive and calling 911. One begged “please send police now.”

“The decision was a mistake and it is unclear how many lives it may have cost,” said the director, Steven McCraw, during a news conference.
“Meanwhile, at least 19 law enforcement officers waited in the hallway, because the commander on scene believed no lives were at risk and it was better to wait until a tactical team could get keys to the classroom before entering, according to Mr. McCraw. A Border Patrol tactical team ultimately did so, and killed the shooter, at 12:50,” the media outlet said.
“The on-scene commander at that time believed it had transitioned from an active shooter to a barricaded subject,” McCraw remarked. “Obviously, based upon the information we have, children in that classroom were at risk and it was in fact still an active shooter… It was the wrong decision. Period.”
Two officials briefed on the situation also told The New York Times that specialized Border Patrol agents arrived at the school between 12 p.m. and 12:10 p.m. which is roughly 30 minutes earlier than previously thought.
A border patrol tactical team arrived at Robb Elementary School right after the shooting started but were held back from entering the school by Uvalde police.
Why does it seem like the police did everything they could to not save the lives of the kids?https://t.co/1eHGFS13ng pic.twitter.com/dlFSQZsdDp

The officials claim that the Uvalde Police Department held the Border Patrol agents back from going inside.

Just like the shooting in Florida, the Las Vegas concert, etc. The police just sat outside doing nothing. This happens too often to think it’s a coincidence. This is organized. I don’t believe the FBI will find anything. I think they were probably the ones telling the police not to do anything.
Why were they waiting on a tactical team?
Uvalde PD has a 10 person swat team and had supposedly had school familiarization training in the Uvalde ISD. Fairly recently.
Something is not right. There is a recent picture of the swat team w/ close quarters
Tactical weapons.
All of this is just too odd – almost like it was staged – not the deaths – the police actions!

I am mixed on this. On one hand according to the “facts” of the moment the cops look very bad. If that all be true was it cowardly police cringing outside because the shooter has a gun….and bullets. Or is this one of those police protocol situations in the handbook where it says on a footnote on page 147 to wait for the shooter to emerge and tell him very sternly to surrender? Officer safety is very important but frankly there are times when the job of law enforcement requires not being safe. Same as firefighters and military there are times to hold in place and times to move forward despite the risks.
However with so many conflicting stories emerging who knows yet what the truth is? I’ll wait.
Lots of “tactical” info that is titilating but the Investigation will never happen.
Listen to what the killer had in equipment, just the number and cost of magazines is staggering, Who paid for all this equipment???? Rifles? Ammo?
FIB will answer right after they answer the Vegas Shooting questions.
These Shootings are All Pre-planned, arranged by the Feral Government. Too many coincidences, and identical scenarios from one killing to another.
Why??? You the peasants must be disarmed, and defenseless. Why? Because you might not agree with what lays in the future for you.
Even if the shooter was barricaded by that time how many of those children might have been saved if they could have got to the hospital during that hour?
19 armed officers against 1 man, come on man. My heart goes out to all victims. Can’t help but wonder how that sheriff that lost his child feels about his comrades in blue about now. May God be with him.
Not once have I read or heard on the news,,Why is the police department calling the border patrol to capture an active shooter in an elementary school,,,just one more question that needs an answer 🤔,,,,,,,FJB,,,,,,

Sadly we are finding out that the cops in Uvele were every bit as cowardly as the Broward Co. Sheriffs’ Deputies were at Parkland.
