Police made the "wrong decision" by failing to storm a primary school classroom in Uvalde, Texas, as a gunman killed 19 children inside, the top safety official has said. "If I thought it would help, I would apologise," Steven McCraw said during a heated press conference on Friday. Officers delayed entering because they did not believe it was still an "active shooter" situation, he said. It was not until 12:51 that a tactical unit entered the classroom and killed him - about 75 minutes after the attack began. The commanding officer on scene - the Uvalde school district's chief of police, who was not present at Friday's news conference - believed the situation was no longer one involving an "active shooter".
