officers retreating after
the gunman opened fire on them.
Over an hour later, the doorway
of the classroom was finally breached
and the gunman was shot and killed.
Families of victims were blindsided by the leaked footage
on July 12, days before they were expected to be
shown the video by the Texas House Committee.
There's no reason for the families to see that.
I mean, they were going to see the video,
but they didn't need to see the gunman
coming in and hear the gunshots.
They don't need to relive that,
they've been through enough, Don McLaughlin, Uvalde Mayor, via CNN.
CNN reports that the video highlights unanswered
questions regarding the tragedy, particularly
the delayed response by law enforcement.

They just didn't act. They just didn't move.
I just don't know what was going through
those policemen's minds that tragic day,
but... there was just no action on their part, Ronald Garza, Uvalde County Commissioner, via CNN.
State Senator Roland Gutierrez told CNN
the video also fails to answer the question of, "who, if anybody, was in charge.".

Even if we see 77 minutes in a hallway,
it's not going to tell us who was in charge
or who should have been in charge.
And I think that's the sad statement
of what happened on May 24
is that no one was in charge, Roland Gutierrez, State Senator, via CNN
