Investigators in Texas have sought to determine why nearly 20 officers remained outside a classroom as children placed panicked 911 calls for help. TexasSchoolMassacre
Border Patrol tactical agents at the scene were frustrated with a lack of clear direction from the commander, believing it delayed efforts to end the attack, said a law-enforcement source familiar with the matter.
The official accounts of how police responded to the shooting flip-flopped wildly. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the day after the killings, praised the courage of police, who he said had saved lives. On Friday, he said he was "livid" and that he had been misled by investigators about the response. "I don't understand who exactly lied to them about what happened," Mr Castro said. "State authorities are trying to blame locals for everything that happened. But right now it's not just adding up."Javier Cazares, whose daughter, Jacklyn, nine, died at the hospital after being shot inside the school, is anguished at the thought she died because of the long wait for help.
