The exterior door through which the shooter entered Robb Elementary School to kill 18 students and two teachers had actually been closed by a teacher, but not properly.
This was revealed on Tuesday by the local police, denying what the investigators had initially said, by assuring that the teacher had left the door open before Salvador Ramos, 18, entered the school in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24.

Considine said the teacher opened the door first , and then she ran inside to grab her phone and calling 911 when Ramos crashed his truck.
“He came back with the phone in his hand, heard someone yell, ‘He’s got a gun!’ She saw him jump over the fence and she saw he had a gun, so she ran inside” and removed the rock when she did that, Considine said.
