that law enforcement's failure to immediately confront the shooter was "the wrong decision" and criticized the decision-making of local authorities who were on the scene.
The memo also touted the effort to evacuate children, saying, "The total number of persons saved by the heroes that are local law enforcement and the other assisting agencies is over 500 per UCISD. 40 minutes were not wasted but each minute was used to save lives of children and teachers." "Responders did not remain focused on the task of stopping the killing as instructed by active shooter training," said the Texas House committee report.
