Has there been any reporting on why they didn't go thru a window?!

19 cops waited for a KEY to enter the classroom.

I don't get it! I have heard about parents pulling their kids from windows, but the cops didn't breach the windows. Wow!

UPDATE: Found a clip mentioning using the windows--
Go to @2:50min for the comment.
Thank you Quixote1818 for posting this clip in videos.

1. Windows very scary things. Cops no can do.

[mysteryowl]

2. The cop shows on TV show us how they use windows!

Unbelievable!

9. as dangerous as a guillotine or a paper cut

3. Cowardice or stupidity

4. Or why they didn't go through the door the murderer waltzed through.

This story keeps changing. Didn't they say they went in and didn't engage the killer? Afraid of getting shot?

7. 19 cops inside the school before they went in.

8. Its friking Texas, we may never know the truth

I am glad the FBI is investigating.

Apparently, per CNN two cops received "grazing" wounds. Because of the wounds they decided to wait for more tactical cops.

What the heck happened to the stupid repuke moto,"good guys with guns will save you". Bull shit!

10. If they depend on the Texas Rangers it will be a cover up. I suspect that the cops

waiting outside were waiting for their cohort to bring donuts (I am not kidding) - assholes.

5. Umm.... That's how you get cut. Broken glass is scary.

[mysteryowl]

11. They could have shot out the windows!

[Nevilledog]

15. More broken glass..... Are you trying to get these cops hurt??

6. Good question

It looks like a one-story school, with a bank of windows on the outside of all classrooms and a hallway down the middle. Shooter might have been exposed if seen through the windows.

12. Meaning... a sniper could have taken him out.

14. Maybe, if the blinds weren't drawn. nt.

20. Aim high

The kids are short

13. Or maybe from the ceiling?

Not knowing the design of this building I can't say for sure.

But I've run network and video cables at a number of schools. With very few exceptions, the walls that separate adjoining classrooms do not go all the way to the roof - they stop just above the hanging ceiling tiles (except where there are firewalls). One can easily pop a tile next to the wall and get to the next room.

Is it dangerous when a shooter with an AR is in the next room? Absolutely, but it allow you to distract and attack from different directions at the same time.

16. Isn't it something that, WE, non-trained police have all these

good ideas.

At the least, many cops needs to loose their jobs.

17. I have seen the videos of the school it looks like the outside wall of the classrooms

are all glass.

[mysteryowl]

18. Exactly!

19. Maybe it is bullet proof glass
