Door did not automatically lock, contradicting investigators’ earlier account in which they said teacher had propped open door

Photograph: Eric Gay/APPhotograph: Eric Gay/APA teacher did not, as previously stated, leave a door propped open with a rock during the massacre at Robb elementary school in Uvalde,

The door, he said, was designed to lock when shut, but did not. “We did verify she closed the door. The door did not lock. We know that much and now investigators are looking into why it did not lock,” Considine said. The account comes as official accounts of the timeline of the mass shooting shifted in the days following the shooting on 24 May. Investigators are still trying to interview the Uvalde Consolidated Independent school district police chief, Pete Arredondo, who took charge of the law enforcement response. He wasSteven McCraw, director of the safety department, said Arredondo treated the scene as a hostage situation and not an active shooter situation. McCraw called it the “wrong decision”.
