There were enough police on the scene of the Uvalde school shooting to have stopped the gunman three minutes after he entered the building, Texas's public safety chief has testified. Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw told a state Senate hearing that the police response was an "abject failure". Many parents and relatives have expressed deep anger at the police handling of the mass shooting, which killed 21 people -19 students and two teachers - at Robb Elementary School on 24 May.

Arelis Hern谩ndez is the Texas Correspondent for the Washington Post. She told Newsday, 鈥淲hat happened that day completely violated the protocol for active shooters that people had been training over since Columbine.鈥�
