Texas school shooting prompts 911 pleas amid stalled response
In Uvalde, Texas, students trapped inside Robb Elementary repeatedly called 911, one begging for police as more than 45 minutes passed before officers entered. Officials say 18-year-old Salvador Ramos was barricaded inside adjoining rooms. 19 students and 2 teachers were killed. The incident drew sharp criticism of the response and led to renewed calls for school protections.
