The teenage madman who slaughtered 19 kids and two teachers in a Texas school spent more than 40 minutes inside as witnesses desperately urged police to charge into the building, it was revealed Wednesday.
Salvador Ramos barricaded himself inside the classroom before opening fire on students and teachers inside. Border Patrol agents finally breached the door about 40 minutes to an hour later when a staff member gave them a key.
Now the father of one of the dead children is blaming officers at the scene for not acting sooner to stop the gunman.
Jacinto Cazares raced to Robb Elementary School when he heard about the shooting and arrived while police were still gathered outside.
