Police Were Slow To Engage Because They ‘Could’ve Been Shot’: Olivarez said that, while the goal for law enforcement during active-shooter situations such as the one this week in Uvalde is to stop the killing and preserve life, officers did not initially know where Ramos was located when they were shot at. “At that point, […]
