New details reveal how police ended deadly firefight with Texas school shooter
(ABC News) – “Heroes” inside Santa Fe High School last week cornered the mass shooter within four minutes, keeping him contained until additional officers arrived to evacuate teachers and students, the Galveston County Sheriff said.
“Four minutes is about the only timeline that we need to key in on,” Sheriff Henry Trochesset said Monday evening, offering new details on how police managed to stop the gunman in Friday’s deadly school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas.
“The heroes from that [Independent School District] engaged this individual in approximately four minutes and stayed engaged with him, keeping him contained and engaged,” Trochesset said, “so the other heroes — that continued to arrive — could evacuate the teachers administrators in the students from this school.”
