“From the benefit of hindsight, from where I’m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said. “It was the wrong decision, period, there’s no excuse for that.”
At 12:03 p.m.—more than 25 minutes after the first cops arrived, and more than 30 minutes after a 911 call about an armed man crashing his truck and running towards the school—someone inside the school called for help, whispering that she was in room 112.
the situation had transitioned from an active shooter to a “barricaded subject,” giving them time to retrieve keys to the classroom and wait for further backup with tactical equipment. But in reality, it was still an active-shooter situation, with kids in the room who “clearly” remained at risk, he said.
In the space of just a few minutes, the majority of shots were fired. “Hundreds of rounds were pumped in [to rooms 111 and 112] in four minutes,” he said.
