A new, revised timeline of the mass shooting showed officers were on the scene but hesitated to go into the room where Ramos was barricaded because on-scene commander Uvalde school district police Chief Pete Arredondo believed the killing had mostly stopped.
Most of the shots were fired in the first four minutes, McCraw said, and Arredondo mistakenly believed it had become a barricade or hostage situation. The only evidence anything had changed was that the shooting had slowed.
“The incident commander at the time believed it was a barricaded subject, they had time and there were no kids at risk,” he said.

How does one track the number of things that didn't happen though? There are probably plenty of cases of X crime not even being attempted due to knowing or suspecting that the intended target would be armed.
