'Someone Tell Me What To Do': In Uvalde, Students Followed Active Shooter Protocol. The Cops Did Not.
LOADING ERROR LOADING This story was originally published by ProPublica, co-published with Texas Tribune and FRONTLINE. Villa, who received active shooter training four years earlier, was among several officers who told investigators that they didn’t believe children were in the classrooms because they were so quiet. “Miss, you’re going to be OK.” Avila could hear the school district chief, who began trying to negotiate with the shooter 24 minutes after officers entered the school. “Child called 911 and said room’s full of victims.” Minutes later, the dispatcher radioed again: “Be advised, we do have one teacher that is still alive with wounds and eight to nine children.” Officers did not hear the grueling 17-minute call in which 10-year-old Khloie Torres and her friend Miah Cerrillo pleaded for help, repeatedly asking for police assistance. “So, then I stood up, and I told them, ‘Come on guys.’” As soon as the classroom was cleared at 12:26 p.m., Arredondo signaled that officers could begin breaching the classrooms with the shooter.
