Yeah, isn't that why they create protocols.So two things jumped out at me from tge Dailynews link on previous page.
1. Kids calling 911 from inside.
2. Shithead shooter tried to ambush entry team from a closet as they entered.
This sounds as if the scene had moved from an "active shooter" to a barricaded gunman/hostage situation. Response for hostages is slow things down and negotiate.
There's still a lot we don't know. He could have been shooting from a closet. Kids were almost certainly bleeding out. But we don't know what could be heard from inside. We don't know if they had eyes on the inside of the classroom.
One of the biggest problems I see is the rush for news agencies and politicians to be the first to get a story out. Look at what happened with Abbott. He was given wrong information and he had to own it making himself look bad. Plus the public wants to lynch the officers. I've always said, give the investigation time. Then decide what was done right, what was done wrong, and what could be done better.
They knew kids had been shot, and they knew at some point, some were still alive making 9-11 calls. They violated protocol because they worried about themselves over the victims/kids.
I don't see any real way to try to defend them at all. Already missing audio? Wouldn't be surprised if true. Maybe we can get Bill Barr to investigate, he can get to the truth.
