Were the police slow to intervene to arrest Salvador Ramos, the author of the terrible shooting in Texas on Tuesday?
Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said police made a "bad decision" in delaying their intervention at the Uvalde school, where the 18-year-old killed 19 children and two teachers.
“Looking back now, of course it wasn't the right decision.
It was the wrong decision, period,” he told a news conference when asked about the much-criticized delay in the response of law enforcement.
“About an hour” before the police intervention
The regional director of the Texas State Security Department, Salvador Ramos, explained Thursday that it was "about an hour" between the entry of the shooter into the school and the assault of the security forces. order.
A delay in intervention which has moved and revolted many people, and which places the police under fire from critics in the United States.
