There were windows to break out?

Meanwhile, with the MSM focusing everyone on the police response, the left is setting the stage for a 9mm handgun ban. I’m so surprised.

Saw on teevee that the building has to be torn down. I guess it played some part in the maelstrum of events.

So, in my lifetime the 9mm has gone from a woman's cartridge that probably couldn't penetrate a layer of denim to a weapon of mass destruction that is so deadly it needs to be banned. That's about right.

kry226, yes, the school. Was the mayor saying it.

Volunteer force, coming from where? Inside Door Hardened to Prevent Access.....everyone keeps Monday Morning Quarterbacking like all these guys needed to do was make a telephone call and they would have had all the help and equipment they needed to make entry. I'm still amazed that the one poster doesn't understand that the school was on lockdown, people were hiding and doors were locked, yet still believes a key could have been obtained in two minutes. I would have been looking for a shotgun to breech the door, but even then the police would have been blamed for the deceased children. This is rural southwest Texas, not DFW, Austin or Houston, the equipment and manpower isn't waiting at the local station. I spent most of my career working in the DFW area, now in the Texas Hill Country, completely different animal when you go looking for help and equipment.

That was me that said that. I stand by that. Every school goes on lockdown when there is an active shooter. All of them. Every time the police respond to one of these cowards in a school they are going into a locked down school. Every time. That’s no revelation.

So as I asked before, where are you going to get a key in two minutes if the doors are all locked, shots are being fired, and people are hiding.....It was a very simple question that you never answered, yet you continue to repeat your statement.

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin confirmed there are plans to destroy Robb Elementary, the site of the May 24 school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

“I don’t think anybody’s plans are but to tear that building down,” Mayor McLaughlin said. “I would never ask, expect a child to ever have to walk in those doors ever, ever again. That building needs to be gone.”

When you build a commercial building that requires a sprinkler system there is a lock box located outside with a key to shut it off. Only the fire marshal has access key, I'm fairly certain these type boxes could be places within schools and a key provided to local LEO. I offer this only as a suggestion going forward.

Let's start with whoever allowed him entry. Who opened the door, and why? All I heard was a teacher propped the door open. To go outside to smoke, bring in some supplies?? I can't be the only one that wants to know the answer to this.

I’m my county dispatch coordinates it with either the principal or superintendent the moment a call comes in and there is key’s waiting when the popo get there. The lack of preparedness for that response is jarring. That should have been worked out long before this incident with the hope it is never necessary.
