EPISODE 170

“Time is on our side right now…”

-Uvalde School District Police Chief

Oct 1, 2024 | Podcast

police officers in the hallway of Robb Elementary school being beckoned to "hold fast" in their positions by another law enforcement officer

“Help!” “Help!” “Help!” “I don’t want to die. My teacher is dead.” “One of my teachers is still alive but shot.” “Officer!” “Officer!” “Are they [officers] in the building?” “There is a lot of dead bodies.” These were the words of nine- and ten-year-old children at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, 2022, during a call with 911. We try to take a balanced approach between the real challenges first responders take and the tragic reality of this event. We hope you learn from it.
