Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw confirmed that no efforts were made to rescue children at Robb Elementary during the mass shooting this week, because an on-scene commander believed that authorities were addressing a barricaded suspect, not an active shooter.
A decision was made…that there was time…to wait for a tactical team. With the benefit of hindsight, it was the wrong decision. If I thought it would help, I would apologize. We take an oath…to protect people.
