As the investigation into the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 children and two teachers continues, authorities are walking back earlier statements that the gunman entered the building through a door that was left propped open by a teacher. NBC News’ Julia Ainsley has the details.

#Uvalde #Texas #SchoolShooting
Police are the enemy and they should be defunded, remember?
There’s was no police in the school…. Why? Why no security?
One thing is for sure. This is an issue of Mental Health and has nothing to do with copious amounts of guns available to Americans. I know this because Republicans care about the lives of people and if it were killing people they would have done everything in their power to stop all the guns on the street. Luckily we have “RESPONSIBLE” people like them who is working to deal with the real issue, “MENTAL HEALTH” and we would eventually get a solution to this.
So what it comes down to then is: Is it either provide professional help to millions of people struggling with lifelong mental illness or change a law.
@PimpThe478 Honestly and sadly no, I really can’t tell anymore. lol
@James Well let me tell you it was sarcasm.
no body in the media wants to reveal that the kid had been using marijuana for years. his whole family, mom, grand dad great grand dad were drug abusers. studys show marijuana use has consequences and will ,the more this push to normalize its use. it has effects on young brains that who knows what will happen in social exchanges. we need to wake up to this coming danger . the democrats want to blame it on the gun. wrong. marijuana use and the life style has to be considered. do some research for yourself. its real.
ACAC
1. UP THE AGE TO 25 TO PURCHASE A HAND GUN.
2. DO AWAY WITH AUTOMATIC MACHINE GUNS.
3. FIRE THE TEACHER WHO LEFT THE SCHOOL DOOR UNLOCKED.
4. FIRE ALL POLICE OFFICERS WHO DIDN’T HAVE BALLZ THAT DAY.
5. STOP BULLIES ✋ IN THEIR TRACK ANYWHERE.
6. DON’T BULLY THE BULLY !!!
That teacher panic she pushed the block away but she did not make sure the door was locked properly so sad
DO NOT tear down that school until gun reform is enacted … Build Another school at another location.

So DOES the door LOCK when it “just closes”????
Some do some don’t some are suppose to and they dont
Introducing the “Smart Door” – a door with visual and audible signals that tells the human, “I am now locked. Hear my beeps? See my lights? You may not enter.” – The Smart Door, as seen on TV.
They need to be looking into the company that installed the door. It’s a safety code they most likely neglected
That shooter is like the quiet kid who are secretly a bully and seeks for attention
You can shoot the door that locks top and bottom all day long, it’s not opening like that.
Its been over a week. Do you think that maybe the families of these dead children would like to be able to turn on the TV and news without the dead children being exploited for a bad cops and anti gun agenda. These families are forced to relive this tragedy over and over again. Enough already

Seems like the police are trying to blame the staff. They screwed up and they should all be feeling guilty about not going in – where was the SRO?
I elect to place towers like they have in prisons, on all schools across the country…it is a small price to pay…If we can send billions to other countries, we can protect our own…I got ten bucks.
what a friggin Shitshow Circus.
It’s not the teachers fault, no one should do this killing innocent children, children that were celebrating
Children who had their whole lives ahead of them 😢😢💔🙏 my heart breaks for all the parents and all the children
I feel like they tried to blame the teacher, cops always place the blame on others. This story is changing so much you can physically see the lies through the cops teeth like a comic book panel.
Remove the chief, bola de cobardes todos los policias que estaban alli
Need to introduce boxing into these schools at gym class
So let me get this straight your kids get shot and the first thing you want is a reform on guns and not an investigation on the long range acoustics most likley used by Mexico or a potential agency…mononucleosis and long range acoustics the chelate of the mono and key frequency G# D# tonality and harmonics miltary pannzi scheme I mean ukraine loses but miltary makes money from your dead kids its called inflation..mono acts as thermal uv incubation that causes parrmagnetics in the amygdala an extra bit in the ear …rewritable Fram in the venous system which cause the fear response from a foreign pathogen fear leads to what…this amplifes the parasympathetic system and mirror the same linguistically bit rate at the last of the associated passive phrase that is thought so the last word gets caught in a loop back ..true and false logic gates nor logic and fmos to cmos logic the amygdala is stuck in third person due to the cochlea having build up of iron aluminum oxides this cause a bridge to acetylcholine harmonics
It’s not bad police action they did the right thing !:
Where did a 17yearold buy a gun. From. It’s a A15 ?try. The kids a gang member in. The cartel whom border patrol busted in war on drugs. Only within a week within. And cartel did threaten to retaliate. Border patrol and us Marshalls ! Yes this is serious matter. ! where the gun cane from who gave a 17year. Old a high power military. A 15 assault rifle ?
I think most people care about the Police doing their jobs properly than a propped open door. Enough with the misdirection and cowardice. I hope Ben Crump represents the parents of all of the slain children and sues the pants off of the Police Dept.
the entire police department at Uvalde should be fired in shame.
Does the principal still think a truck crashed? Was that the teacher that called 911 for the truck, not a shooter. I mean the grandma called 911 too. B.d.
Where the video, it’s a lot of lying. One Video show the gunman entering in the school.
blaming doors, blaming teachers, blaming celebration cupcakes. pathetic.
If law enforcement is wrong about something, don’t hold your breath for an admission of wrong doing on their part.
They already passed the buck that’s a end to it for them. It’s the schools fault the door wasn’t locked! That’s what they are gonna say and probably all they will ever say.
It is the schools responsible for keeping the children safe.
That means doors or anything on the on school grounds.
The school police should check the doors everyday. If broken
stand there until door is fixed.
For the YEARLY 3 BILLION DOLLARS it cost to support illegals in this country the CORRUPT WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS are so eagerly allowing open boarders that money could be used for beefing up schools security!!
Dude wether the door lock or propped it open is not the problem… the problem is that we felt a need to lock school doors?
So what exactly is the door policy at the school?
What policy is in place.regarding use and proceedures?
Schools around here have them locked at all times since the 70s and push bars that only open from the inside with auto lock features.
Was the door policy ignored?
Was the auto lock or locking mechanism disabled?
🕯️
I’m telling all the folks who believe all guns are bad and getting them legally much harder or taking them away from folks the illegal guns are still goin to be sold obtained regardless the way to reassure the chances of things like this happening is to put aimed officials on the grounds is the best way to keep innocent ppl safe…
A lot Of Entities At Fault Here. There Is No One Person Did This City A DisService, GET IT TOGETHER!😡 HEARTS ARE TORN TO PIECES. 😭😭🙏🏾
Blaming the door now?? How many people have worked for companies that have “Security” doors that if you snap them just right pop open? EVERY place I have worked for has.
Faulty locks are not rare.
But this surely knocks the theory about a Good Guy with a gun stopping a Bad Guy with a gun.
After the Bad Guy kills everyone it just doesn’t count.
Actually they blaming g the poor teacher. The coward police finding and escape goat
Sam Harris has a brilliant podcast out on this, worth a listen
It’s sad the cops took too long to entered until federal agents went in. The chief of police hesitated and this will destroy Greg Abbott. I guess Texas didn’t learn nothing to what happened in Sandy Hook.
Where were the Principal?
Why would you wait for a key? Kids were being slaughter and you act like you ain’t got a gun and a body armor smh. So sad those kids didn’t have any protection and even a teacher use her body to protect those kids and die they are hero. The cops that are there are coward by one shooter and there are 19 Police officer with guns and armor couldn’t do a dam thing.
Death penalty for police chief for that call.
I’ve been led to forgive this kid for shooting 20 innocent children’s lives! It may not mean much to some, but forgiveness is the ONLY way forward! God bless.
house! kai champaign low
a better lookin’ little whtmx girl causes accident in car mandatory blood test anybody testing these shooters’ drugtest ? oh I See the casinos’UKukraine news TV movies entertainment socialize industryOfdrugcartel trying to legalize illegalDrugs , I apologize I forgot their motto of deceptivePractices mossadAgenda ; and like all these columbine rockstar hair shooters don’t look like on anything uhm cough cough
Apply this to the police force that waited 45 mins+ before subduing the shooter,
Dereliction of duty is deliberate or accidental failure to do what you should do as part of your job.
They applied for that job! Whether you like it or not,you are required to subdue or fight the shooter even if you have to die for it.
I’m a soldier, if my Uncle Sam sends me to combat , then I have no choice but to deploy, if I wait and miss my flight, They will be charging me with AWOL or desertion ,or a lesser action like “dereliction of duty”
Recommended corrective training (not a punishment)
Retrain in actual combat in how to survive in an active shooter scenarios, deploy them to be embeded with a Ukrainian unit in Dombas region where active fighting is ongoing and non stop, Expose them to real combat so when they come back, they will become a supercop just like what the US Army did to JrPatatas.(4 times went to combat (3 separate 12 month in Iraq) and 1 in a hazardous location I cannot even mention to my kids/family
Not to mention he fired a weapon before even entering a school. I guess these cops are about as useful as the cops in Cyberpunk 2077.
School shootings only happen in America.
Uvalde was the 27th school shooting this year.
Ban Americans from international travel to control the spread of stupidity!
American parents protest at school meetings about? A: 27 school shootings B: Masks
stop giving weapons to the common people,
You two are stirring things up with this kind of interview!
in US, you can buy AR-15 without any licence? Thats what he did, acc. to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robb_Elementary_School_shooting
so? AR-15 is literally the smallest cal. Knives are probably 1000 times more dangerous than AR-15
Whether she left the door propped open or not, you can’t possibly blame a teacher for this when the police stood outside for over an hour doing nothing
asseater007
It’s completely ridiculous that you are not placing 1/2 of the blame for this on the admin and faculty. They are 100% responsible for the security of the building and kids inside. They know the security protocols and failed to follow them. They are starting point for this tragedy and it ends with the police reaponse failure. The school exterior was not properly locked down. The classroom was also not locked. Had they been secured, the shooter wouldn’t have been able to enter. The failed police response was part of the cascade of failures leading to this tragedy. Plenty of blame to go around and not just aimed at the police.
That door is probably a panick pushbar door style. It has what is called the dogout feature that alows you to unlock the door from the inside with a 1/4 inch hexkey or allen wrench. What if the missing SRO unlocked it without the teachers knowledge?
Everyone always wants to blame the type of gun!!! I blame the bullies, parents that don’t parent their children to not be bullies, and the schools “teachers, principles, and kids” that don’t stop ALL the bulling!!! ALL of you are just as guilty!!!
This is ludicrous all of these senseless deaths and shootings but unfortunately it’s too late to rein in assault weapons since there are thousands out on the street and in Private hands
Exposed; COWARDICE is as a national issue
So it disnt lock but police says they had to get staff to unlock the door because it was locked to police.
During this last memorial day weekend, 54 people shot, 9 fatally in Chicago alone in one weekend! You never hear about all the shootings in democrat run cities with very intense gun laws by the biased left propagandist lying fake news media! Gun laws don’t work with criminals. They won’t admit the truth because they have a complete aversion to telling the truth. The left are hypocritical liars that just want to disarm law abiding 2A loving americans, so they can be even more tyrannical! Were those cops cowards or ordered to stand down to up the body count for their bs agenda. They hate america and americans. Do you trust “your” government?
I don’t blame the cops for not quickly reacting. Why should they put their lives on the line when citizens won’t do anything to help them. We continue to allow more guns and easy access to them so no I don’t blame the cops. You have to accept that your kids will pay the price for your votes. At the rate these guns are being bought this entire country will soon look like a war zone.
Blaming the teacher instead of the slow police response is beyond common sense
Obviously the school needs to invest in better doors
Any City mayor will have the Police chef suspended immediately
shame on law enforcement for trying to put the blame on this teacher-this animal was going to get in regardless if that door was locked or not…..every single law enforcement officer on the scene should be prosecuted for non-action and cowardice behavior,,why?..because one mother went in her self with no gun, body armour and was able to get her two kids out (she said she could hear the gun shots while the cops were outside arressting parents)….cowards the whole lot of them..big tough texans turns out there just cowards
The chief Pete was is a Democratic candidate. Receiving 911 calls and hearing kids calling he needs to be in jai I hope it wasn’t a setup why Beto Rebuke blaming. guns before An investigation in the middle of Texas elections. Chief of police Pete Arredondo blaming a teacher and beto Rebuke blaming. Governor Greg Abbott playing Dirty politics
Let’s put the truancy officer in charge. Who made that decision?
Bullets prices
All media sources need to wisely ban together and stop publicizing the shooters names!!! That’s what they’re looking for, all the fame and notoriety is one of their main goals. Let’s all focus on the victims and their families 🙏🌎
Once again News don’t want to call out the problem, why is this blame manhunt going on, what about the criminal who killed these innocent people, what happened to this maniac who decided to take lives, where was his family, who are they, why was he not in school the year prior. Once again the criminal off the hook blaming people who tried to their job in this situation. Lets here about where this shooter get the gun what were the procedures for him to buy a assault weapon with so much ammunition.
The door is not the issue. Teachers/professors can choose to open door or not – up to them. It just unfortunate that there was a killer that day the door was opened.
Arredondo must be fired for his cowardice non action that cost additional deaths of helpless children who made several calls for help. But in Texas he might even be rewarded with city council position. There must be whole lot of corruption oing on.
We need body cam footage. To hear what kind of jokes they were cracking. While the gunman was having a field day. Also immigration was called just to control the illegal parents I get it
Stop investigating and wasting time , opening up another window for more incidents,,,instead …START the prevention, Immeditally close schools nation wide and befor reopening any school have protection in Place…STOP with your investigations already we all now what happened,,,but what we don’t now is that the prevention than can stop all this is being taken. ,,Helloooo..anyone follow me on this…other country’s protect there children …
No more democrats
I would like to know where a child that’s only 18 years old got enough money to purchase these very expensive firearms and very expensive ammunition I would blame the mother
This will never stop too many sick fluks with easy access to semi automatic rifles.
And you wonder why people don’t trust police 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
They have to harden schools you never heard of a police station getting shot up because the police have guns
“Land of the free” but no accountability from the police.
Could any wounded children have been saved whilst the so-called “Good Guys” skulked in the hallway ? Good guys with guns is not the answer.
It is simply a case of cowardice from the police. No other explanation is possible.
since columbine police arent supposed to wait for back up squads, they are supposed to go in! i cant believe border patrol had to go in w out police!! but thank god border patrol came and did that
how did this chief of police become a town councle member? he got privately sworn in the day if the kids funeral!
Lets salute the uvalde police department!
NEWSFLASH: Police do NOT have to risk their lives to intervene in a gun fight. That is society’s problem they want the right to own guns. The consequence is your kids die. It is your fault, not the cops. The cops are there for law and order.
Blame the Republicans and Democrats for all the shooting an killing, thy need a reality check? Thy need wake up an stop hounding each other???
An ar15 dosent care about a locked door. The real story is the psycho that shot the children and the police did nothing.
first, government create problems, and then,they are pretending, they”solve”it. and always in their favor

COWARDLY POLICE trying to blame it on the teachers
All those policemen in their white cowboy hats and crisp-creased uniforms–standing around doing NOTHING.
A teacher who doesn’t KNOW if the door locked ????
UMMMMMM —when she opened the door to get her phone, ummm how would she get back in if it were locked?
geeze why does she need a lawyer>
Teach, your childrens well, to be a good citizen
Texas is a joke right now! A very BAD joke!!
