A video still from inside the Robb Elementary school building on the day of the horrible massacre reveals that police seemed well enough armed, with at least one ballistic shield and rifles, and yet still waited almost an entire hour before moving in.
BREAKING: Multiple officers were inside Robb Elementary School with rifles and at least one ballistic shield at 11:52 a.m. the day of the shooting, new video and other evidence shows. They didn’t enter the classroom for another 58 minutes. More soon via @statesman and @KVUE. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/0BcYgq2hcQ

Investigators believe this is significant because it indicates they had more than enough firepower and protection to enter the classroom before they did. Officers were growing impatient far sooner: “If there’s kids in there we need to go in there,” one said on body camera video.

This definitely doesn’t look good for Uvalde police.
I honestly don’t know if that ballistic shield was bullet proof or not, but you would think that with that and the rifles it would be enough to go in and try and take the gunman down.
But they didn’t and that’s what’s so bizarre.
