NEW: The 911 calls made from inside Robb Elementary School during the shooting were not relayed to the incident commander, the Texas state senator who represents Uvalde says. 'There was error at every level, including the legislative level.'
Students locked inside two connected classrooms with the gunman called 911 multiple times throughout the shooting while police were in a hallway outside of the classrooms.
Arredondo could not have been receiving the 911 calls at the time because Uvalde local police are the only 911 responders in the community, Gutierrez said, citing Texas' Commission on State Emergency Communications, which monitors all 911 agencies in the state. He called on authorities to clarify who was receiving the 911 calls at the time for the state to release radio transmission records.
