A Texas student begged 911 twice to 'send police now' as the gunman lurked in the school for nearly an hour

• Robb Elementary School students called 911 at least 8 times during the school shooting.
• One student called six times, asking dispatchers to "please send police now" at least twice.

One elementary school student in Uvalde, Texas, begged 911 twice to "send police now" as the gunman lurked in her school, killing 19 students and 2 teachers before police finally stopped him.

Students at Robb Elementary School made at least 8 calls to 911 after the gunman burst into classrooms and opened fire on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters Friday, Director of Texas DPS Steven McCraw, gave a timeline of 911 calls that took place between the time the shooter entered rooms 111 and 112 at Robb Elementary and the time a US Border Patrol Agent shot and killed him.

The first 911 call from inside the school came at 12:03 p.m. from a girl in room 112, McCraw said. Though he did not identify her, it has been widely reported that a student grabbed her dead teacher's phone after the woman was shot and made a call to 911.

The call lasted a total of one minute and 23 seconds, during which the girl whispered to dispatchers that she was in room 112 at Robb Elementary. McCraw said the caller called all by herself.

At 12:10 p.m., she called back and said there were multiple people dead in her classroom.

She called for a third time at 12:13 p.m., then a fourth at 12:16 p.m., which is when she said that there were 8-9 students still alive in her classroom.

At 12:19 p.m., another student, a young girl, in room 111 made a call to 911. McCraw did not give her name.

He said that she hung up the call quickly after another student told her to do so.

Another call to 911 was made at 12:21 p.m., though it is unclear who made this call. McCraw said 911 dispatchers could hear 3 shots ring out in the background of the call.

At 12:36 p.m., the initial caller again called 911. Dispatchers told her to stay on the line and to stay very quiet. She informed them that the shooter had shot the door.

She called back a sixth time at 12:43 p.m., and asked them to "please send the police now."

At 12:46, on the same call, she told 911 dispatchers that she could hear the police next door, presumably in room 111.

She asked again to "please send police now" at 12:47 p.m.

Shots were heard on the call again at 12:50 p.m.

The final call cut off at 12:51 p.m. at which point police officers could be heard ushering students outside of the building.

According to the latest timeline given by McCraw Friday, the suspect was shot and killed at 12:50 p.m.

Police have given multiple conflicting reports of the timeline of the shooting, first claiming and then retracting that a school police officer confronted the gunman.

In the latest narrative from authorities, McCraw said Thursday that 19 cops were ready in the hallway to confront the gunman inside one of the classrooms, but the incident commander — Uvalde school district Police Chief Pete Arredondo — wouldn't let them enter because he thought "there were no more children at risk."
