Steven McCraw testified that now-deceased teacher Eva Mireles called her husband, identified as\u00a0Uvalde CISD Police Officer Ruben Ruiz, \u201cshortly after the gunman attacked her classroom and told him \u2018she had been shot and was dying,&#8217;\u201d KWTX <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwtx.com\/2022\/06\/21\/police-officer-husband-slain-uvalde-teacher-detained-disarmed-after-he-tried-save-his-wife\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe tried to move forward into the hallway,\u201d McCraw told lawmakers. \u201cHe was detained and they took his gun away from him and escorted him off the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KWTX noted that the director neglected to reveal which agency disarmed and removed Ruiz from school grounds.<\/p>\n<p>During the same testimony, McCraw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/abject-failure-tx-police-commander-says-key-was-not-needed-uvalde-gunman-couldve-been-stopped-in-three-minutes\">slammed the\u00a0police response<\/a> to the shooting as an \u201cabject failure,\u201d adding that the shooter could have been apprehended within three minutes of entering\u00a0the school, as officers waited for \u201ca key that was not needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s compelling evidence that the law enforcement response to the attack at Robb Elementary was an abject failure and antithetical to everything we\u2019ve learned over the last two decades since the Columbine massacre,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree minutes after the subject entered the West building, there was sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor to isolate, distract, and neutralize the subject,\u201d McCraw continued. \u201cThe only thing stopping the hallway of dedicated officers from entering room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The director added that officers were, in part, waiting for a \u201ckey that was not needed.\u201d\u00a0\u201cI have great reasons to believe it was never secured,\u201d he testified. \u201cHow about trying the door and seeing if it\u2019s locked?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The response to the tragedy has been heavily scrutinized. One mother claimed she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mom-briefly-handcuffed-for-urging-cops-to-enter-school-then-rushed-in-to-save-her-kids-report\">briefly handcuffed<\/a> by U.S. Marshals before she ran into the school herself to save her two children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe police were doing nothing,\u201d mother Angeli Rose Gomez accused, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/uvalde-residents-voice-frustration-over-shooting-response-11653588161?mod=panda_wsj_author_alert\">according<\/a> to The Wall Street Journal.\u00a0\u201cThey were just standing outside the fence. They weren\u2019t going in there or running anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gomez said \u201cshe was one of numerous parents waiting outside the school who began encouraging\u2014 first politely, and then with more urgency \u2014 police and other law enforcement to enter the school sooner,\u201d the Journal report outlined. \u201cAfter a few minutes, she said, U.S. Marshals put her in handcuffs, telling her she was being arrested for intervening in an active investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Desperate to reach her children, the mother said she was able to convince local Uvalde officers whom she knew to get the marshals to un-cuff her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce freed from her cuffs, Ms. Gomez made her distance from the crowd, jumped the school fence, and ran inside to grab her two children,\u201d the report detailed. \u201cShe sprinted out of the school with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/uvalde-residents-voice-frustration-over-shooting-response-11653588161?mod=panda_wsj_author_alert\">denied<\/a> to the Journal that any parents were put in handcuffs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/uvalde-gunman-threatened-school-shootings-rapes-leading-up-to-massacre-social-media-users-say\">Uvalde Gunman Threatened School Shootings, Rapes Leading Up To Massacre, Social Media Users\u00a0Say<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The director of Texas\u2019 Department of Public Safety revealed this week that the police officer husband of a slain Robb Elementary School teacher was detained and disarmed when he tried to enter the school to save his wife.
