Summary

New reporting reveals that there was an hour-long gap between the Robb Elementary school shooter's first shots in the vicinity of the school and when he was killed by law enforcement. (The Daily Signal does not name the shooter in order to keep the focus on the victims.) Now questions are swirling about law enforcement's decisions, and whether they were the right ones.

Steve Bucci, a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation and a security expert, unpacks what needs to be investigated and what are the most important questions to get answered. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
