Texas DPS Confirms Gunman Entered School Through Apparently Unlocked Door, No Police Officer Present

An official with the 🤠Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed Thursday that there was no school police officer present when a gunman arrived at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, 🤠Texas.

A shooter killed 19 young 👧Children and two teachers on Tuesday in the horrific incident in the small 🤠Texas city.

DPS South 🤠Texas Regional Director Victor Escalon told reporters that the 18-year-old, now-deceased, shooter gained access into the school through an apparently unlocked door on the west side of the building at 11:40 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

“It was reported that a school district police officer confronted the suspect that was making entry. Not accurate. He walked in unobstructed initially,” Escalon said.

There was no school police officer in the area.
