Townhall Media/Julio Rosas As we previously reported, as the story about the Uvalde shooting has evolved, we’ve learned that the police didn’t immediately rush in to try to save the kids in the school but indeed, set up a cordon outside the school, and kept parents back, as they worked out what to do with the shooter inside the school with the kids. Reportedly, the killer was inside for an hour before the police went in, as the parents were begging the police outside to do something.
We wrote about how there even appeared to be an effort to subdue the parents.
Now we have more information that shows how bad it got.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the shooter was shooting outside the school for 12 minutes before he went into the school. He also didn’t encounter a resource officer as had previously been reported.
The shooter began shooting at people after he crashed his grandmother’s truck near the school at 11:28 a.m. A 911 call came in at 11:30 reporting a shooter. Then he climbed over the fence to the elementary school, firing before he went inside at 11:40. Police arrived at 11:44. But the Border Patrol Tactical team didn’t go in until an hour later — around 12:40. Local officials said that police were on the scene very quickly after he got to the school, but they weren’t able to get into the classroom where he had barricaded himself.
In that intervening time, parents who were cordoned off and kept back were frantic at the police failing to go in. They pleaded with them to go in and said they would go in themselves.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
