The chief’s decision — and the willingness to follow his directives against established protocols — prompted questions about whether more lives were lost because officers did not act faster to stop the gunman, and who should be held responsible.
The chief’s decision — and the officers’ apparent willingness to follow his directives against established active-shooter protocols — prompted questions about whether more lives were lost because officers did not act faster to stop the gunman, and who should be held responsible.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to talk publicly about the investigation. Criminal charges are rarely pursued against law enforcement in school shootings. A notable exception was the former school resource officer accused of hiding during the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that that left 17 people dead.
The crisis ended shortly after officers used keys from a janitor to open the classroom door, entered the room and shot and killed Ramos.
