The officer witnessed Salvador Ramos with a rifle after he crashed outside the school. That's when he allegedly asked for permission to shoot the gunman before he had entered the school.
Burrows attached two letters to his tweet. In one letter, he asked the DPS for permission to release the video to the public. The other letter is a response from DPS saying that the agency agrees that the video will bring"clarity to the public regarding the tragic events in Uvalde," but that the Uvalde district attorney"has objected to releasing the video."
Burrow's tweet states that the video he is pushing to release"contains no imagery of victims or footage of violence."ABC News pieced together what happened the day a gunman killed 21 people at Robb Elementary School, using maps, video evidence and information from law enforcement. A gunman fatally shot 19 young students and two teachers inside a classroom on May 24 before authorities breached the door more than an hour later -- after waiting in a school hallway. What authorities were doing in those 77 minutes remains largely unclear, and some officials have questioned the trustworthiness of the various investigations working to understand the police failures that day.
The House committee's next hearing is scheduled for Monday at 9 a.m. CT in Austin. The witnesses scheduled to testify are DPS Director Col. Steven McCraw, ALERRT Assistant Director John Curnutt and Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco.
