The commander at the scene of a school shooting in Texas was not informed of panicked 911 calls coming from inside the school building, a Texas state senator said Thursday.
Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said last week that police didn't breach the classroom where the gunman was holed up faster because Arredondo believed the situation had morphed from an active shooting to a hostage situation.
The Democratic senator called it a"system failure" that calls were going to the city police but were not communicated to Arredondo. "There was error at every level, including the legislative level. Greg Abbott has plenty of blame in all of this," Gutierrez said.
