The parliamentary committee that investigated police and local authorities in the May 24 shooting that killed 21 people at a school in Texas, United States, revealed the very hard conclusions to which he arrived on the response of the troops intervened in the operation.
According to the report, the officers “did not respect their training” and “did not put the lives of innocent victims above their safety”. In short, it was described like this There was a “chaotic” situation, with lack of command and “apathetic” agents..
According to the document, 73 minutes elapsed from the arrival of the first police officers to the shooter’s death, an “unacceptable” delay due to “a lack of command that could have contributed to the loss of life”.
In parallel, he added that although it is “likely that most of the victims died immediately after the first shots”, some died during the transfer to the hospital and it is “possible” that those victims managed to survive if they were more useful. quickly.

Steven McCraw, director of Public Safety in Texas, had already described the authorities’ response to the massacre as “absolute failure”, focusing his criticism on the head of the police of the Uvalde School District, Pete Arredondo, who was then suspended.
“He did not take responsibility for his commander“And he made errors of analysis because he did not have all the information, the parliamentarians esteemed in their report.
Nor has anyone proposed to replace or help him. “The attitude of all the agents was apathetic,” she added, and she felt that “a chaotic scene was generated without anyone being clear”.
The criticism has increased after the publication of a video showing the arrival of the shooter with an assault rifle, and then the long wait of the agents in a school corridor.
