On May 24, 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, were killed by a gunman in their Robb Elementary School classrooms. At the initial press conferences, Governor Greg Abbott praised the heroism and swift action of the police and first responders. Since then, however, state agencies have shared details and an amended timeline that call into question the decision-making and training of officers at the scene. What follows is intended as a comprehensive reference, primarily based on the thorough reporting of Texas news outlets, about what is known, to date, about that timeline.
