UVALDE, Texas — In the hours after the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz was quick to laud his agents' actions, writing on Twitter that they"put themselves between the shooter and children, to draw the shooter's attention away from potential victims and save lives."
"No matter how well-trained and well-equipped the BORTAC team was, their response still succumbed to the same chaos resulting from lack of incident command," said Cohen, also a longtime former street cop and renowned expert on police training and investigative tactics.
Additional BORTAC agents arrived on-scene shortly after Guerrero, and by 12:15 p.m. -- 25 minutes before the incident concluded -- a full tactical team had congregated outside the school, records show. By 12:21 p.m., when the gunman opened fire inside the classroom for what is believed to be the final time before the police confrontation, records show that a full team of BORTAC agents were on-site with ballistic shields, tactical weapons and breaching equipment; their commanding officer was present and briefed; and, perhaps most importantly, they were aware the suspect remained an"active shooter.
