When the cops finally breached the classroom at Robb elementary...

... they didn't take any casualties doing so.
Is that right?

Well, if that is correct, was the shooter already dead?
Was the shooter incapacitated somehow?
Was the shooter surrendering?

I have no quarrel with the guys who breached that classroom, whatever happened.

Since there were no casualties among the force that breached the classroom, it really makes the cops that sat their on their thumbs for an hour look worse!
Who trained those people?

Because the BREACH TEAM entered in a stack with the first man behind a shield... he was actually shot in the head with the bullet piercing his hat and grazing his scalp... and that man, first in the stack killed the shooter.

The coward cops should have been in there immediately or shooting through the door.

Do you know if the cops in the hall had a shield? I think they had body armor... and maybe stun grenades.
You could do me... and people I communicate with... a big favor by telling us all you know. Details, please.

According to the CBP official, three Bortac agents engaged the shooter in gunfire — with one holding a shield — after entering Robb Elementary along with local and state law-enforcement officers. One Bortac agent was wounded, but not critically. The CBP official told Texas Monthly that it’s “unclear which bullet from which gun” struck the shooter and killed him.
