LE tried to call him on his phone? During all this? Guess they figured out who he was real quick and got his phone number!
That's a first in all these school shootings - LE tried to call and negotiate with the shooter...............(smh)
JMHO
The accident would indicate that his grandmother/grandfather owned the truck. Probably neighbors showed up and were talking about him.
Well, this is a small town. The truck was registered to his grandparents. Grandma did call 911 - after all she had been shot. Put 2 & 2 together - pretty easy - but getting his cell phone number? He didn't have any friends. Grandma or grandpa could have given it to them.
So she did prop the door open with a rock but then returned to kick it away. Apparently that is where the misinformation began, they left out the part about how she kicked it away and only reported that she propped the door open with a rock."I am traumatized and heartbroken"
The "door" teacher says
Uvalde teacher traumatized after cops wrongly said she left door open
Police initially claimed Ramos had been able to enter Robb Elementary School by the back door which they said had been propped open by a rock by teacher Emilia Marin.www-dailymail-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org
Misinformation is not uncommon in early press conferences, however in this case it was hurtful.

Uvalde police were trained to quickly confront an active shooter. So why did they wait?
After Columbine, FBI training urged that quick action is critical to saving lives. Somehow that lesson hasn’t been learnedwww.theguardian.com
Why didn't the police go in? they were afraid for their lives----
That is the basic answer: I have to tell you I have watched a lot of true crime, and the detectives I have listened to have said this (paraphrasing)- we have to catch that bad guy: we think he may come out firing at us and we know that, but we are going to go in anyway BECAUSE THAT IS OUR JOB--
Hello!!!! being afraid is no excuse, not when it is your job to protect citizens and get the bad guys, in this case, an active shooter: There were 19- yes 19 police officers, they could have gotten him down by shear numbers- but they were scared. I understand fear- and he had a machine gun and they were not properly prepared with proper weapons to fight with. The whole thing went so horribly wrong---- costing lives. It makes me sick.

Sorry, but I really don't understand him being in city Council.I don't think it was because they were all afraid (some maybe) but the School's Chief of Police Pete Arredondo ordered them to STAND DOWN.
Which was a bad decision. He also did NOT have a Police Radio/scanner and I would love to know why? Why was he using a cellphone to conduct official police business sp an Active Shooter?
The real question is why did he make that decision so quickly and refuse to back down? Border Control disobeyed and went in regardless.
Lack of experience? Did his ego prevent him from listening to advice from UPD? Still a mystery.
