The classroom door in the Uvalde primary school where 19 children and two teachers were killed in May was not locked, even as police waited for a key, the Texas Department of Public Safety Director has said

There was no evidence that any law enforcement officer ever tried the classroom door to see if it was locked, Steven McCraw said at a Texas Senate hearing into the shooting.

Police actions after the gunman entered the primary school and began shooting have come under close scrutiny amid anguished parents' anger over the response. Uvalde schools police chief Pete Arredondo said earlier this month he never considered himself the incident commander of the scene of the shooting, and that he did not order police to hold back on breaching the building.

"They could tell me 'Oh, we made a mistake. We made the wrong decision'. But my great-granddaughter is not coming back to me," said a distraught 78-year-old Ruben Mata Montemayor.

Yeah.. it's the doors/ police/ teachers fault. Not the lunatic with an assault rifle.

Health and Safety.

This Just shows how incompetent amd badly trained the American police force is. The blood of those students and teachers are on those officers hands as they are also responsible for their deaths.

The police were complicit, waited over an hour before reacting, because they were to busy arresting and pepper spraying parents who were trying to save their children.

Uvalde police response to shooting an 'abject failure'Evidence shows the law enforcement response to the Uvalde school shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers in May was 'an abject failure,' according to the Texas Department of Public Safety Director. Mmm, lots of names featured in that article but no mention of the killer, Salvador Ramos. Their response well may have been an abject failure but tragedy is just that, a tragedy. What about the failure of successive governments and states to introduce proper gun control measures? These awful and needless deaths are only a drop in the gun death ocean. This is a direct result of the Democrats defunding, demoralising and demonising the police.
