"The Uvalde training session 2 months ago relied on guidelines that give explicit expectations for officers responding to an active shooter. The training is clear: Time is of the essence. The 'first priority is to move in and confront the attacker,'" Baker continued, quoting the training manual. "But how should officers confront the gunman? With a tactical team? The training says that's probably not feasible, because the urgency is so high," Baker continued. "A SINGLE OFFICER, the training says, may need to confront the suspect on their own."In the past two years, the Uvalde school district has hosted at least two active-shooter training days. One of them was just two months ago.
The trainings included both classroom teachings and role-playing scenarios inside school hallways (below).https://t.co/vE11bemXYg 2/9 pic.twitter.com/wehrjsvi6j — Mike Baker (@ByMikeBaker) May 28, 2022
"The guidelines provide sobering clarity: The first officers may be risking their lives. But, it says, innocent lives take priority. 'A first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider another career field,'" he added, again quoting the training manual. "The guidelines actually provide scenarios in which officers are shot, including one modeled after the Santa Fe High School shooting, also in Texas. The scenario explains that if one officer is shot, the second 'is expected to go on responding solo,'" the reporter continued. "It’s clear that officers did not follow that scenario this week. 19 officers staged outside the classroom. 78 minutes elapsed before they entered. Children repeatedly called 911 from inside," he concluded. It's clear officers in Uvalde did not follow their own recent training. The question is why not?
