Top Texas cop says door wasn’t locked after all, and the shooter could have been apprehended within three minutes of entering the elementary school.
‘Three minutes after the subject entered the West building, there was sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor to isolate, distract, and neutralize the subject. The only thing stopping the hallway of dedicated officers from entering room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children.”
– Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety
