Every day, new information surfaces about how law enforcement responded to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
Critics have pointed out failures at nearly every step of that response: the school's resource officer drove by the shooter as he crouched between cars; police waited more than an hour to head into the classroom while the gunman was inside; and the chief of school police showed up without his radio and stopped treating the incident as an active shooter situation.
Katherine Schweit is a former FBI special agent, and created the agency's active shooter program after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. She's also the author of the book Stop The Killing: How To End The Mass Shooting Crisis. She joined NPR's All Things Considered to give her perspective on the law enforcement response in Uvalde, and share strategies for students and teachers to better their odds of surviving a mass shooting.

Let us know. Overlook tactics, techniques and procedures the school could have done on its own. Someone going for a coffee or smoke break set everybody else up for this Masa casualty murder event. Unfortunately, President Biden and others are taking advantage of the situation even talking about gun control on Jimmy Kimmel Live. President Biden in poor taste is doing this. Let us not forget that the school should have had some kind of control measures just keeping doors locked. For some reason, nobody in the school was arms even though Texas is a state that allows teachers and other School Employees to carry weapons if they have a permit. Let's not lose sight of protecting the schools and doing things to prevent Intruders from coming in.

It really bothers me. Those officers should have stormed the building after having a plan. It should have been The Charge of the Light Brigade within a few minutes of a half a dozen officers getting together. That golden 45 minutes of sitting around deciding what to do cost the lives of many children and maybe even both adults. I expect that a couple of those officers are going to commit suicide. Don't be surprised. You heard about the golden hour in combat, this would have been the golden hour to save the kids lives because some of them could have been saved and not bled to death

I can honestly say I never ran away when the shooting started. I'm not the bravest individual, but I am no coward as I have sumurai in my blood as a tested to by my father who was of 100% Japanese descent as told to him by his father and his father (i.e., my great great grandfather).
