'It was clearly the wrong decision'

Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw held a press conference on Friday to detail the timeline of the Uvalde school massacre on Tuesday and address questions as to the law enforcement response.

McCraw gave a timeline of events, one that had been lacking in the hours and days after the shooting when questions arose as to why officers did not immediately pursue the shooter into the school and attempt to prevent him from killing the 19 children and 2 women who lost their lives that day.

Prior to laying that out, McCraw informed the public that, despite initial accounts to the contrary, there was no resource officer at the school at the time the gunman arrived. That resource officer was shortly called to the scene, where the officer drove around to the back of the school only to find a teacher there. The resource officer had passed right by the gunman, who was hiding behind a vehicle.

That resource officer was called to the scene in response to a 911 call. McCraw was not able to say why the officer was not stationed at the school. The Uvalde school district has 6 resource officers assigned to their area.
