Tuesday when Ramos’ Ford pickup slammed into a ditch behind the low-slung Texas school and the driver jumped out carrying an AR-15-style rifle. Questions have mounted over the amount of time it took officers to enter the school to confront the gunman. Samuel Salinas, 10, who also played dead, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the assailant shot teacher Irma Garcia before firing on the kids. After the shooter moved into an adjacent room, she could hear screams, more gunfire and music being blared by the gunman. Miah Cerrillo, 11, told CNN that she covered herself with a friend’s blood to look dead.

Young survivors of the attack said they pretended to be dead while waiting for help. Throughout the attack, teachers and children repeatedly called 911 asking for help, including the girl who pleaded for the police, McCraw said. He said investigators do not know if children died during that time. There was a barrage of gunfire shortly after Ramos entered the classroom where officers eventually killed him, but those shots were “sporadic” for much of the time that officers waited in the hallway, McCraw said.

His motive remained unclear, authorities said. Ramos killed 19 children and two teachers inside the room. One of the officials said audio recordings from the scene capture officers from other agencies telling the school police chief that the shooter was still active and that the priority was to stop him. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.
