A heartbroken father who lost his daughter in the Texas school massacre says he wanted to charge into the building himself after police allegedly ‘weren’t doing anything like they are supposed to’.
Officials have acknowledged that gunman Salvador Ramos, 18, was inside for up to an hour and killed 19 children and two teachers before a tactical team shot him dead.
The local, who saw the scene from outside his house, across the street from Robb Elementary School, says officers did not move. He is said to have ‘encountered’ a school district security officer before entering, although there are conflicting reports from authorities on whether the two exchanged gunfire.
Forty minutes to an hour elapsed from when Ramos attacked the school security officer to when he himself was shot, Department of Public Safety director Steve McCraw said.
