In a dramatic development, the chilling video of Uvalde School in Austin, Texas, has been leaked and the development may cause further embarrassment to the officers from the local police department. In the video, officers could be seen approaching the classroom where 18-year-old Salvador Ramos shot dead 21 people including 19 students and two teachers. However, they all are seen retreating after hearing the gunshots.
The five-minute-long video shows teachers screaming in panic as Ramos crosses the parking lot of Robb Elementary School after crashing a truck just outside the property. The killer is seen entering the hallway without any resistance. Ramos then enters the classroom and starts firing indiscriminating. A small child is seen running to save his life.
