BREAKING: Nearly 400 local, state, and federal officers waited outside Uvalde school as gunman targeted children: TX HOUSE REPORT

"Systemic failures" and "egregious errors" are at fault according to a new report released by the Texas House on the May 24 Uvalde massacre, in which a lone gunman entered the Robb Elementary School and murdered 19 children and 2 teachers. Leadership, and the lack of a command structure, were also to blame.

There were nearly 400 officers on the scene as the gunman massacred children and teachers for 73 minutes. There were 149 US border patrol agents, 91 state police, 25 Uvalde police, 16 members of the Uvalde sheriff's office, and 5 members of the school district, in addition to members of law enforcement from surrounding communities.

The report, 44 days in the making, comes after the release of surveillance video from the school on that day, which shows that 73 minutes passed between the time the shooter entered the school and when police took out the gunman.

Reports from the press conference indicate that some victims of the shooter could have been saved had officers entered the classroom without waiting over an hour. State Congressman Dustin Burrows said that "the officers who knew or should have know that this was an active shooter situation by their training experience should have done more."
