The uncle of the Uvalde school shooter, Salvador Ramos, called 911 to try to talk his nephew down, saying he might listen to him because he always did. The call was made after the shooting had stopped, and Ramos' nephew was fatally shot by officials at 12:50 p.m. The delayed law enforcement response has been widely condemned as a massive failure, with multiple investigations finding problems in training, communication, leadership, and technology, and questioning whether officers prioritized their own lives over those of children and teachers.
