The incident commander, the chief of Uvalde ISD Police, wrongly believed the incident had transitioned from an active shooter situation to a barricaded subject situation, where the suspect had stopped firing and barricaded himself in a classroom, no longer posing a threat to children, McCraw said.McCraw said there may have been a belief by the incident commander that no one was alive anymore inside the classrooms.
The person then called again at 12:13 p.m. and again at 12:16 p.m., when said there were eight to nine students who were still alive, McCraw said. At approximately 12:43 p.m. and 12:47 p.m., she asked 911 to please send the police now, McCraw said. On Feb. 28, in an Instagram group chat with four people, they discussed"Ramos being a school shooter," McCraw said.
Investigators are also looking into people the suspect may have communicated with in video game chat rooms who"may have known something," McCraw said.Email this article
