UVALDE, Texas — State police say the Robb Elementary School teacher who propped open an exterior door that a gunman used to get inside and kill 19 students and two teachers had closed the door but it did not lock.
Investigators initially said the teacher propped the door open before 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered the building May 24.
Travis Considine, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Tuesday that investigators have determined the teacher propped the door open with a rock but removed the rock and closed the door when she realized there was a shooter on campus. But the door did not lock. The teacher has not been identified.
It is still not clear why the door didn't lock when the teacher kicked the rock out of the way. DPS believes it may not have closed all the way.
