Cops Waited 40 Minutes to an Hour To Enter School After Gunman Had Entered;
Loved Ones of Children and Teachers Begged Cops to Go In and Stop Him, to No Avail

No one needs a gun. You got the cops, don't you?

Witnesses said that loved ones and onlookers anxiously waiting outside Robb Elementary School on Tuesday as the gunman was inside shooting teachers and students urged police who were outside the school to go in and try to stop the shooter.

Some also suggested they take it upon themselves to attempt to overpower the gunman.

Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw said the gunman could have been in the school for 40 minutes to an hour.

"Go in there! Go in there!" a woman shouted to officers soon after the shooting happened, witness Juan Carranza, 24, said. He lives across the street from the school. "There were more of them. There was just one of him," he said.

But he said the officers stayed outside.

Javier Cazares raced to the school after hearing about the shooting because his daughter went to school there.

He said he suggested a group of civilians "rush in because the cops aren't doing anything like they are supposed to. More could have been done. They were unprepared."

His daughter, Jacklyn Cazares, died in the attack.

Cops aren't there to stop murderers; they're there to fill out some paperwork after the murder.

Content warning for shouted curses and a lot of intense emotion and horror:
