Authorities took an hour to stop Uvalde gunman, raising questions about law enforcement responseOfficials clarified the timeline of the shooting Thursday after giving varying accounts. They refused to answer many questions about the tactics.JOSHUA FECHTER AND REESE OXNER | MAY 26, 2022 | UPDATED: 2 HOURS AGO. . . Escalon declined to answer several questions from reporters and to clarify discrepancies in previous statements by agency officials, saying authorities “will circle back.”
He offered new details about the timeline of the law enforcement response Thursday, saying local police officers were the first to arrive at the school — about four minutes after the gunman entered — but had to fall back after taking gunfire. Officers tried to negotiate with the shooter, he said, but the man “did not respond.”
Escalon said most of the gunfire from the shooter occurred when he first entered the school but added that he continued to fire shots — some at police — as officers attempted to make contact.
It took officers an hour to kill the gunman once he was inside as law enforcement officers called "everyone that's in the area" to help, then waited for "specialty equipment" and body armor and organized a tactical team to reenter the school, Escalon said. . .
