Because of the Commander who “swore to serve and protect” making the wrong decision, we now find 20 innocents dead. This horrific crime was in the making. Several sign posts indicated that this dementia individual was going to commit a devious, heinous and inhuman act, but he was not stopped at each turn.

Numerous questions arise. Why have not the schools been on guard against these  deranged people. After Sandy Hook, one would think that all schools had safety measures in place. Unauthorized individual should not be allowed into our schools. Why no metal detectors. Where were the security personnel. Who was not doing their job? Why did they wait for one hour before entering the school?

Texas school shooting: Official says Uvalde commander made ‘wrong decision’ during massacre

A deranged person gunned down 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday after barricading himself inside a classroom, authorities say.

Students trapped inside classrooms at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas repeatedly called 911 from their cell phones, seeking immediate help as a gunman continued his mass shooting spree in their building.

“Please send the police now,” one caller said as officers waited more than an hour outside the school, authorities said Friday.

Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said later officers were instructed not enter the building as their commander did not believe the students were in any further danger. Nearly 20 officers remained outside of the school.

It was later learned 18-year-old gunman barricaded himself in classroom, before shooting the teachers and students inside.
