One of the most shocking aspects of the Uvalde Shooting were systemic failures and “egregiously poor decision-making” of law enforcement which resulted in more than an hour of chaos before the gunman was finally confronted and killed by a special-ops team, according to a report from the Texas House of Representatives’ investigative committee.
This idea of having AR-15s in schools doesn’t sit right with Stephanie Scheller, a San Antonio business owner who is deeply involved in her community.
“Because why are we expecting SCHOOL TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS to pick up that weapon and defend our kids when fully armed and protected officers won’t? Not to mention…really? We trust them to protect the kids with their lives…but don’t trust them to teach those same kids? Who’s paying for range time so they can become comfortable working with those weapons? And lastly….they are NOT getting paid enough to potentially have to take someone’s life…”

Official Public Statement by BPS: The problem at Uvalde was not a lack of equipment, but a lack of training in high-volatility situational decision making. This is a very poor decision. These guns are a liability to school security unless they are being constantly carried by a trained guard.
