(Uvalde, TX) — Texas police are admitting they made a mistake during the elementary school classroom massacre. Department of Public Safety Director Colonel Steve McCraw said “it was the wrong decision” to wait and not breach the classroom door. McCraw says officers should have gone inside because people were still being killed. A Border Patrol tactical team eventually went into the classroom and killed the 18-year-old suspect. Nineteen children and two adults were shot to death, along with the gunman.
