Who Is Colonel Steve McCraw? Uvalde Texas Police DPS Admits Delay Response To Shooting

Col. Steven McCraw admits that waiting to approach the Texas school shooter was “an arbitrary decision,” among a slew of other blunders.

At a Friday press conference, Texas Department of Public Safety Col. Steven McCraw stated it was an erroneous call not to enter the Uvalde, Texas, classroom where a shooter had been located for more than an hour.

911 tapes revealed that a youngster in one of the closed classrooms was on the phone with 911 for a lengthy amount of time, according to McCraw.

Furthermore, he requested that police be dispatched some minutes before the cops were able to secure keys from a janitor. They burst into the room at that moment and shot the suspect, according to McCraw.
