An official could not explain why no officers responded during the 12 minutes Ramos spent outside the school and said the question is under investigation
Police outlined a new timeline for the school shooting in Uvalde in which 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos spent 12 minutes firing shots outside Robb Elementary School prior to entering the building. Victor Escalon, a regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, sketched the series of events: After shooting his grandmother, Ramos drove her truck and crashed it into a ditch at 11:28 am.
Ramos then climbed an 8-foot chain-link fence to get onto the school grounds and began firing shots before freely walking inside at 11:40. Police arrived at the school at 11:44 and engaged in gunfire with Ramos, who barricaded himself inside a classroom. A. Escalon clarified that nobody met Ramos as he entered the building, saying that previous reports that an armed school officer had confronted him were incorrect.
