A new report about the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school massacre reveals a police officer asked for permission to shoot the gunman but got no answer.
The report released Wednesday by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University includes a detailed timeline and more information about the shooting at Robb Elementary School on May 24 that led to the deaths of 19 students and two teachers.
The findings indicate the officer had a rifle and asked his supervisor if he could shoot the suspect, but the supervisor either did not hear or responded too late.
According to the report, some of the 21 victims “could have been saved” if medical attention had been received sooner. Law enforcement waited over an hour before “breaching” the classroom.
The 26-page report used video from the school, police body cameras, information from interviews with officers who were on the scene, and other statements from investigations.
