Javier Cazares spent 35 to 45 minutes outside Robb Elementary School scanning for his daughter as he and other parents argued with police to 'go in there.' An account of what unfolded over the roughly 80 minutes the gunman was inside the Texas school.
Salvador Ramos was up early on May 24, sending ominous messages. The man authorities have identified as the gunman turned 18 the week before and promptly bought two AR-15-style rifles along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
But the officer initially headed for the wrong man, confronting someone who turned out to be a teacher — after passing within feet of Ramos, who was crouched behind a vehicle parked outside the school.From his hiding place, Ramos went for the propped-open door, slipped through it and into adjoining fourth-grade classrooms at 11:33 a.m., authorities said. He rapidly fired off more than 100 rounds.
The first police on the scene were outgunned by Ramos’ powerful, high-end rifle, according to a man who watched from a nearby home.“After he started firing at the cops, the cops stopped shooting,” said Juan Carranza, 24. “You could tell the firepower that he had was more powerful than the cops’ weapons.”
In the nearly half-hour after the first officers followed Ramos inside, as many as 19 piled into the hallway, authorities said.
