Investigators say the latest information indicates that officers had more than enough firepower and protection to take down the 18-year-old gunman. The latest on the Uvalde school massacre:

DALLAS—Police officers were in the hallway and armed with rifles and at least one ballistic shield within 19 minutes after a gunman arrived at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a new development that raises more questions and criticism about law enforcement’s response to the massacre, according to a new report from The Austin American-Statesman.

The new information is expected to be presented at a Texas Senate hearing Tuesday, the American-Statesman reported, which will give members of the public an opportunity to address lawmakers on gun violence and other related issues. Documents reviewed by the American-Statesman showed 11 officers entered the school within three minutes of the gunman.

A transcript of officers’ body camera footage showed Arredondo was trying to find keys to open the classroom door, the American-Statesman reported. Officials have said that they do not believe officers had tried to open the door. At 12:46 p.m., Arredondo told SWAT officers they should breach the classroom door if they were ready, the American-Statesman reported. Footage shows that medical units had arrived and were tending to children in the hallway after the gunman was dead.
