   Two Uvalde cops passed up a chance to take out the gunman who   
   killed 19 kids and two teachers at a Texas elementary school   
   before he entered the building, according to a report.   
      
   The officers worked for the city, and one was armed with an AR-   
   15-style rifle as the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School   
   unfolded.   
      
   But they hesitated to open fire at Salvador Ramos because they   
   did not want to hit any nearby children, Chief Deputy Ricardo   
   Rios of the Zavalla County Sheriff’s office told The New York   
   Times.   
      
   The chance to stop the 18-year-old before he carried out his   
   plans for a massacre passed quickly, perhaps in seconds, Rios   
   said.   
      
   The missed opportunity came moments after a school district   
   officer drove past Ramos without seeing him in the school   
   parking lot. Ramos then slipped inside the school through an   
   unlocked back door and began his attack.   
      
   Rios said he shared the information with a special Texas House   
   committee investigating the deadliest school shooting in the   
   state’s history.   
      
   The police response and the actions of Uvalde Schools Police   
   Chief Pedro “Pete” Arredondo, have drawn widespread criticism   
   and is being probed by the state and the US Department of   
   Justice.   
      
   The revelation about the chance to take Ramos comes out as   
   Uvalde police officials reversed course, and agreed to speak to   
   the committee after initially appearing to ignore the request,   
   according to reports. The city of Uvalde is also withholding   
   police records related to the shooting.   
      
   After Ramos locked himself in adjoining classrooms, cops from   
   multiple law enforcement agencies took more than an hour to   
   storm the room and shoot him down, while survivors inside called   
   911 begging for help.   
      
   Separately, Zavala County Sheriff Eusevio Salinas told CNN that   
   when he responded to the scene about 30 minutes into the   
   tragedy, he didn’t hear anyone say they were in charge. He and   
   Rios found a chaotic situation, the sheriff said.   
      
   Salinas had a portable radio, which was broadcasting traffic by   
   the Texas Department of Safety, but he didn’t hear radio traffic   
   from the Uvalde Police Department nor the Uvalde schools   
   district police.   
      
   Inside, he found a “hazy and foggy” scene with multiple people   
   on the floor receiving first aid. He helped evacuate children   
   from some classrooms and then helped clear other rooms.   
      
   Salinas has not been asked to speak testify before the Texas   
   House committee, he told the news outlet.
