The director of Texas Public Safety, Steven McCraw, has recognized this Friday errors in the police operation to respond to the massacre perpetrated at the Robb elementary school in Uvalde (Texas) and that cost the lives of 19 children between 8 and 10 years old , as well as two teachers.

McGraw has explained that the main mistake was in interpreting that the author of the shots, Salvador Rolando Ramos, had decided to entrench himself instead of, as happened, open fire indiscriminately -approximately "a hundred shots", according to the Texan official- against the schoolchildren in a class.

The police command believed that "there were no children in danger, but it was clear that this was not the case", according to McGraw. “In hindsight, it is clear that it was not the right decision.

It was the wrong decision, period," acknowledged McCraw, who has pointed to the commander of the operation 'in situ' as responsible. The newspaper 'New York Times' identifies this commander as the Uvalde Police Chief, Daniel Rodriguez.

McGraw has also confirmed, as it had begun to circulate in the last few hours, that the local police prevented a heavily armed Border Police team from breaking into the school during the first response to the shooting.
