The Texas elementary school shooter also fired at witnesses across the street from his vehicle before heading to the Robb Elementary campus in Uvalde, Texas, according to Victor Escalon, South Texas regional director for the Department of Public Safety.
"At 11:28 a.m. [local time,] he's sitting there at the ditch" where he crashed his vehicle, Escalon detailed at a news briefing Thursday as he provided a timeline of events. "He jumps out the passenger side of his truck. According to witnesses, he's got a long arm rifle and a bag. Later we find out it's ammunition."
"He walks around, he sees two witnesses at the funeral home across the street from where he wrecked [his vehicle]. He engages and fires towards them. He continues walking towards the school. He climbs a fence. Now he's in the parking lot, shooting at the school. Multiple times," he added.
At 11:40 a.m. local time, the shooter walked into the west side of Robb Elementary School and shot multiple rounds, Escalon continued.
The Texas Department of Public Safety official said the gunman was not confronted by a school resource officer outside the school, and apparently entered an unlocked door. The same law enforcement agency previously said an officer had "engaged" him.
"Four minutes later, local police departments, Uvalde Police Department, the Independent School District Police Department are inside, making entry. They hear gunfire, they take rounds, they move back, get cover. And during that time, they approach where the suspect is at," Escalon explained.
“According to the information I have, he went in at 11:40, he walks approximate 20 feet, 30 feet, he makes a right and walks into the hallway, he makes a right, walks another 20 feet, turns left into a schoolroom – into a classroom and that has doors opened in the middle,” Escalon says.
These officers were not able to make entry initially, Escalon said, "because of the gunfire they're receiving." They called for backup and additional resources, while the evacuation of children and teachers in other classrooms was underway, he added.
"Approximately an hour later, US Border patrol tactical teams arrive," Escalon continued. "They make entry. Shoot and kill the suspect."
A Zavala county deputy and members of the Uvalde Police Department also made entry into the classroom, Escalon said, and also shot the suspect.
The scene of the shooting then immediately turned into a "rescue operation," Escalon said.
"How do we save these children? Some made it out — we don't have a hard number yet but that was our goal," he said.
No. I brought up other actions that could stop/minimize these events. It's important because many people rail against "x" that they don't like to solve the problem. I brought "y" that could also help solve the problem. But in this case "y" is something that they like.
That is what liberals hope for
If kids got taught how to use gun they could pick up teacher gun if teacher dead

Still no sympathy for the families and victims or signs of empathy from the alt-right posters. Just deflections and spreading misinformation. They really might be bots.
I'm too busy being eternally grateful the mass murderer wasn't white, TC.
You sure love changing the subject when you cant answer anything. B-B-B-BUT WHATABOUT is like every one of your posts you loser
Do you like dead children? What does any of that have to do with dead kids?
*mass shooting kills children*
everyone: we need to do something about this
Ducks: WHAT ABOUT CHINA
Wait a minute, are Good Guys With Guns a bunch of cowards? Hmmm who’s been saying that all along?
We need some moderation around here. The bot accounts are doing too much.
...and 1 more time..."Thanks for the swell turnout and the great questions. I have to go home now and feel bad about hugging my children, luncheon and lance this boil on the bridge my nose."
Now you want thoughts and prayers
Maybe Elon will buy ST
No I want right wing politicians to act on their thoughts and prayers. I want the bot accounts here to stop botting and show some human decency.
For real.
Only pussies & assholes advocate for "moderation."

No one cares
I'll tell you, Lee the same damn thing I just told TC..."only pussies & assholes advocate for moderation."For real.
Understood, Lee. But as always...I ignore no one. Ever. It's my religion.
They need to be on a watch list tbh. Their posting patterns mimic a lot of these mass shooters. They never call out the shooters actions. Instead they ride them and make excuses.For real.

Sorry this is happening to you
You're SOL, TC. You never showed human decency to President Trump. I swore then on the Good Book that I'd avenge that man.
Let us proceed...
I'll survive.
