UVALDE – Sources in Uvalde tell Fox News that the teacher who had propped open that door where the shooter entered the building now says she had shut the door but it failed to lock.
A teacher at Robb Elementary School who left a door propped open moments before the horrific attack had actually closed the door before the gunman entered, but it did not lock, the teacher's lawyer and authorities said Tuesday.
"She saw the wreck… She ran back inside to get her phone to report the accident. She came back out while on the phone with 911. The men at the funeral home yelled, ‘He has a gun!’ She saw him jump the fence, and he had a gun so she ran back inside," Don Flanary, a lawyer for the teacher, told San Antonio Express-News on Tuesday.
Also Tuesday, sources are reporting the Uvalde Police Department has stopped cooperating with state authorities investigating the mass shooting.
The Uvalde Police Department and Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District police force stopped cooperating Friday following a press conference in which Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said the delayed police response to the mass shooting was "the wrong decision."
Pete Arredondo, the Uvalde school district police chief, has not responded to Texas Rangers in two days for a follow-up interview from his initial statements following the shooting, a DPS spokesperson told Fox News in a statement.
