Officers arrived three minutes after Ramos entered the school and approached rooms 111 and 112, but they retreated.
Massacre at room 111. Massacre at room 112. Officer called out, "Yell if you need help!" A girl in the adjoining classroom said, "Help." Ramos heard the girl, entered the classroom, and shot her.
Law enforcement approach his classroom from what sounded like the hallway three times, but they did not enter; during one of these occasions, he heard a student from the adjoining classroom 112 saying, "Officer, we're in here. We're in here." As law enforcement had already left, Reyes said Ramos "walked over there, and he shot again."
Reyes later heard law enforcement telling Ramos to come out of the classroom to talk, saying they did not want to hurt anyone. WTF? That's the smartest line you would come up with? That the police don't want to hurt anybody? What's next, police threaten to shoot at hostages if shooter don't give up?
