Desperate parents pleaded with officers to act during Uvalde school shooting, video shows
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Desperate parents begged law enforcement officers to storm an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in the frantic minutes after a gunman opened fire in one of the deadliest classroom attacks in U.S. history, police body camera video released Tuesday shows.
“Whose class is he in?” one parent can be heard asking. Another comes up and yells, “Come on man, my daughter is in there!”
The heartbreaking videos show the agonizingly slow law enforcement response along with confusion and delays. Authorities failed to confront 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos for more than an hour after the attack at Robb Elementary School began on May 24, 2022. Nineteen students and two teachers were killed.
The records released Tuesday are the final batch of documents that local authorities withheld during a yearslong legal battle over public access. Family members of the victims, including Jesse Rizo, the uncle of 9-year-old victim Jackie Cazares, were among those pushing for the records to be released.
