The school police officers engaged in a gun fight with the shooter as he approached the school. He had body armor and was intent on killing -- clearly suicidal. He wasnt stopped for some reason.

The community is small. It's not like big cities with big budgets and large services.

Okay, the gunfire occurred after he entered the school:

"The Texas director of public safety, Steve McCraw, said during a press conference a school security district officer “encountered” 18-year-old Salvador Ramos after hearing reports of the crashed vehicle, and did not exchange gunfire, though the state later confirmed to NBC the officer was armed.

Ramos then entered the school, and the school officer followed him inside, where “rounds were exchanged,” McGraw said.

Ramos also fired shots from inside the school toward arriving Uvalde police officers outside of the school, causing injuries to some of the officers, according to Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Travis Considine."

They have a 13 person SWAT team for a town of 16,000. Don't make excuses that they couldn't afford to stop the shooter. They are all cowards.
