A dispatcher can be heard on audio recordings telling the acting city police chief that “eight to nine” kids were alive and in need of help in the classroom.
A dispatcher can be heard on audio recordings obtained by CNN telling the acting city police chief that “eight to nine” kids were alive and in need of help in the classroom. The call came as hundreds of officers gathered in and around Robb Elementary School, where 19 students and two teachers were killed.
The City of Uvalde placed Pargas on administrative leave in July following a damning report from lawmakers on the response to the shooting. He told CNN that his lawyer instructed him not to speak publicly but, “there’s a lot of stuff that I can explain, that I would love to defend myself.” Authorities have said the gunman did most of his shooting within minutes of entering the classroom at 11:33 a.m., but it’s unclear whether there’s an official tally of how many children in the room were not killed. Corina Camacho, whose son was shot and was one of the survivors, told The Associated Press that 11 children survived and their families try to stay in touch. Children have publicly recounted playing dead to avoid being noticed by the gunman.
