[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Carefully worded so no one gets sued, fired, jailed or hanged. - 376 officers responded to shooting but failed to take swift action, according to the Texas House committee probe
- The 149 US Border Patrol agents and 91 state police were among nearly 400 on the day who should have helped with the 'unfolding chaos', the report noted
- The report slammed them for 'failing to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety'
- The blistering 77-page document blasted 'system failures and egregious poor decision making' by nearly all those in power during the May 24 attack
- It was released around midday Sunday as the victims' families met with officials to discuss the report and watch footage of the sick rampage through the school
Some of the litany of errors in the report included:
- Cops failed to follow the active shooter doctrine imposed after the 1999 Columbine High School massacre by not engaging with Ramos;
- The school's safety protocol for keeping doors to classrooms locked and shut during school hours was not adhered to;
- Around 47 'lockdown' events when police chased migrants near the school that came before the shooting made staff desensitized to react;
- Ramos gave numerous hints he was going to go on a shooting spree before May 24, posting online cryptic messages related to violent actions;
- Officials undermined public trust in the investigation into the massacre by making false statements about what happened.
