The Uvalde police held the Border Patrol back.

It is being reported that the Border Patrol arrived earlier than previously known. It is also now claimed by Border Patrol agents that local authorities weren’t allowing them to go in to rescue the children and kill the shooter. It appears that they eventually decided to take things into their own hands. More facts are coming out.

This story will get even more heartbreaking tomorrow.
