Texas top cop faults Uvalde response as abject failure
Texas DPS head Col. Steve McCraw testified that police had enough officers within minutes to stop the gunman and could have found the classroom door unlocked. He said on scene leaders delayed entry, waited for a key, and that the on site commander prioritized officer safety over children’s lives. McCraw described the incident as an abject failure and criticized Arredondo for not taking charge.
