The husband of Irma Garcia, the primary school teacher of Uvalde killed while shielding the little students with her body , died of a heart attack today, two days after the massacre that cost his wife his life.
Family members stressed that Joe Garcia " died of pain ". Joe and Irma had been married for 24 years and had four children, the eldest just joined the Marines, the youngest in middle school.
THE DELAYS OF THE POLICE
Meanwhile in Texas the controversy over the delays of the Police flares up. Why has it been nearly an hour since Salvador Ramos arrived at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and was killed by agents? Why didn't the special teams stop the carnage earlier?
The anger of the parents of the victims is growing in the aftermath of one of the bloodiest massacres in American history, the agents are accused of not having acted in a timely manner to stop Ramos' murderous rampage.
"Come in! Come in!", The parents who rushed out of the school scream at the agents in desperation, in the videos of those terrible moments filmed by witnesses and inhabitants. Javier Cazares, whose 8-year-old daughter Jacklyn was killed in the attack, said he was ready with three or four other fathers to enter the school. " The policemen were unprepared, they stood there doing nothing ," he accused, devastated by grief. "There were a lot of armed agents out there, they could get in quickly, they could finish everything in minutes." Instead, 40 to over an hour have passed. An eternity. "They're shooting in there and they worry about us, we have to go in and get our children," another father can be heard shouting.
THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE AGENTS
Texas police provided a first reconstruction of the dynamics of the massacre: Ramos first "confronted" a school security guard, Erick Estrada, outside the building. He was armed and had a black duffel bag with ammunition that he dropped out of sight of the officer. However, he was not stopped and the officer did not open fire. Entering the school through a back door that was open, the killer ran into two other officers in the hall who hit and injured. The call was answered by the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, the division of the American border authority specializing in responding to terrorist threats of all kinds.
