Newly released body camera footage is exposing in unprecedented detail the failures in the
0:12
police response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas
0:19
The video shows then-school district police chief Pete Arradondo standing in the hallway
0:24
for more than 30 minutes, talking through the classroom door to 18-year-old Salvador
0:29
Ramos, while dozens of children and teachers remained trapped inside. Nearly 400 officers
0:34
from multiple agencies waited more than an hour before a Border Patrol tactical unit moved in
0:40
and killed Ramos. Investigators later determined the door was not locked. Outside, desperate parents
0:46
pressed against a chain-link fence, shouting for officers to act. Inside, some officers pushed to
0:52
storm the classroom. Others hesitated, fearing crossfire. Records show deputies had gone to
0:58
Ramos' home months earlier after his mother said she was afraid of him. Once described as a bright
1:04
motivated student, his academics and behavior deteriorated by third grade. In middle and high
1:10
school, he was suspended for fighting and bullying, missed classes, and eventually dropped out in
1:15
October of 2021. In the weeks before the shooting, he posted violent threats online and hinted at a
1:21
countdown. Days after turning 18, he legally bought two AR-style rifles and ammunition
1:28
On the morning of May 24th, he shot and wounded his grandmother, then drove to Rob Elementary
1:32
School and opened fire. Arradondo and another former officer face child endangerment charges
1:38
and have pleaded not guilty. The release of the footage and documents follows a years-long legal
1:43
fight over public access. For more unbiased updates, download the Straight Arrow News app
