when the officers arrived the gunman was shooting outside of the school.s felt that they were under fire themselves and worried that were they to open fire at this gunman and they missed and unfortunately in that scenario may have hit a child, that they might have been blamed in some way for doing the wrong thing. so, that hesitation, that moment sort of hesitation -- this is really we're talking about seconds here, according to this deputy sheriff, that allows this gunman to go inside. >> and according to your reporting, this is a kind of second missed opportunity for officers who arrived at robb elementary in addition to the other officer who drove past the gunman and didn't see him in the parking lot? >> that's what's amazing about this. there's been a lot of criticism of the police response. but in actuality, the police were on scene incredibly fast. you have not only these officers -- one of the officers who had an opportunity to take a shot had an assault rifle-style gun. he had one of these police assault rifles that they have and didn't take that s

how did the gunman get in the classroom? if the classroom doors were locked. >> i think it is pretty clear that the gunman, when i encounter the door was either not completely closed or was not locked. he managed to get his way inside. i think what investigators know to be true and what has been shown in the documents that i've reviewed and the surveillance video is that no officer is seen trying this door handles. particularly, no one's even near the door for a lengthy period of time about 40 minutes after they are first shot at. arounfd 11:37 i believe it is. they don't try those doors again. so, they go on the assumption that they are locked and never really check that assumption. now, the doors should have been locked in the school but what investigators found when they went and checked the doors around the school elsewhere was that not all of them locked effectively or could be effectively locked in emergency. one of the reasons why there is not total clarity on this, i made a understand is that because going back and f

we have to continue to focus on the gunman. the second thing they're doing what i called that first night of sanitizing what happened. i may be accused of being a little bit too graphic in my coverage here but i think it is very important that we -- basically, these are weapons that if a grown man like the two of you would act like a grenade inside of you, imagine what happened to children, what happened to the children and they had to identify and they were unidentifiable. we cannot let words like killed or shot minimize or sanitize what happened. and the third thing is john got to it clearly is this sense that we can only play defense. the only solution is arm more parents, get one door. you can't possibly think that defense is the only way we're going to protect our children. we wouldn't go on defense in our own daily lives, we go on offense, all sorts of things to protect them. those three things are happening simultaneously. i think it's important that we ka them out and also realize for all of our plays, we are a and and

after the surgery, the gunman called dr. phillips complaining of continuing pain including a phone call he made yesterday. when he was not able to be seen immediately, he drove to a gun star and one hour later was at the hot shooting. he bought the gun and went in to kill those people that same day. the first 911 call came in at 4:52. four minutes later, police were on scene. >> officers entered the building on the first floor and made their way to the second floor based on the information they received. while on the second floor of the vast building, officers began yelling tulsa police, this is something that we train to do. as officers were calling out tulsa police and advancing towards a suspect location, they heard a gunshot. we believe that was the final gunshot with the suspect taking his own life. the gunshot was at 4:52 p.m., approximately 39 seconds after the first officers entered the building. >> police say they know the shooter's motive because they found a letter on his person that confirmed he came to the hospi

admitting that the teacher who propped open the door before the shooting actually closed it before the gunman entered. but that is completely different from what the public was told just days ago. cnn's omar jimenez is live for us in uvalde tonight. omar good evening to you. this is another contradiction from officials, what is the very latest? >> on the investigative, side this is another discrepancy of police initially told us, versus what we find out to be reality. police initially said that this teacher propped open a back door that was supposed to be lock the day of the shooting. and we are now learning from authorities, she actually closed that door when she realized there was an active shooter, but it did not lock. this discrepancy is coming as we are now starting to see the first of what will be many funerals here in this community. even as you walk around, it's hard to find people who were not personally affected by this, even if not directly, they know someone who was and so we are going to see families morning in funerals that will continue into tomorrow, this community will be mou
