Texas school lockdown under review; first public lockdown notice was 12 minutes after shots fired

While law enforcement's delayed response to the deadly Uvalde school shooting has drawn the most scrutiny, Texas authorities also are reviewing how quickly school officials moved to impose a lockdown of the Robb Elementary School campus.

The first public notice of a lockdown was posted at 11:43 a.m., on the school's Facebook page, about 12 minutes after the Texas Department of Public Safety reported that the 18-year-old gunman was firing on the school outside.

At the time of the Facebook post, according to the DPS timeline, the gunman had already entered the school and opened fire.

Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Chris Olivarez told USA TODAY that the sequence of events leading to the lockdown is key to the overall investigation.
