The videos will likely be released on Monday and will show the breach that took place on May 24 when a gunman shot and killed 19 children and two teachers. Mayor Don McLaughlin said the release of these videos “will bring clarity to the public, families and survivors,” according to the news release. More than six weeks have passed since the massacre at the elementary school and there have been questions about the police response before they breached the classroom where the gunman was, as it took 77 minutes from the time the gunman entered the school to when he was killed by officers.

The ‘officer heard no answer [on his radio] and turned to get confirmation from his supervisor. When he turned back to address the suspect, the suspect had already entered the west hall exterior door at 11:33:00 a.m.,” according to the estimate. McLaughlin disputed the report Friday. “Ultimately, it was a coach with kids on the playground, not the shooter,” McLaughlin said in a statement.
