But why was the exterior door not closed and locked? Satellite photo shows it appears to go to the school bus drop off and teacher's parking lot.

Dont know if its one of the ones that died...
Texas authorities claimed a teacher propped open the back door of Texas school just before the gunman attacked. Now they say the teacher actually closed it before the shooting.
Police walked back their false claim on Tuesday, the latest in over a dozen instances of law enforcement changing their story about what happened.

You didn't properly follow the chain. Don't know who left the back door open, but herb stated that the teacher in the classroom that the kid entered did not shut her classroom door, but called 911.
I stated that may have cost her her life.
If that is what you meant when you said "It cost her her life......." fine, I just read the words you wrote.
There's a time line out where this teacher was outside and heard gun shots and saw the kid walking towards the school. She went inside to call 911 but didn't close the door.
The professor’s critics have pointed out that Uvalde Police Chief Daniel Rodríguez, Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pedro Arredondo, and many of the officers on the scene were Latino.
“Professor Butler knows that she can write and advocate without fear of university actions to remove her,” Turley added. “That is precisely what all faculty should enjoy as a matter of academic freedom and free speech. However, it is a privilege often exercised selectively today.”
Others also took to social media to slam Butler for her comments.
“The only acceptable answer for many today is race. That is all they see. Around every corner. The specifics of the situation do not matter. This is a clear example — and from a highly educated educator,” one Twitter user commented.
“Anthea Butler is the new kind of College intellectual racist, dumb and absolutely wrong,” another tweeted.
“That is crazy. There were white kids who died too. This has nothing to do with it,” a third wrote.
“Hard to imagine that there is a scholar somewhere in the large country with this outrageous take,” another reacted. “Start up the outrage machine. I’m starting to think this must be how they all think.”
This is not the first time Butler has been lambasted for her rem
UPenn Prof Anthea Butler: Uvalde Police Did Not Rush into School Because of Mostly 'Mexican American' Children
University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) professor and MSNBC contributor Anthea Butler suggested that Texas police didn't respond sooner to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde because they "didn't give a damn" about a school filled with mostly "brown kids."
Uvalde cop wouldn’t take aim at school shooter: report
Two Uvalde cops passed up a chance to take out the gunman who killed 19 kids and two teachers at a Texas elementary school before he entered the building, according to a report.
The officers worked for the city, and one was armed with an AR-15-style rifle as the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School unfolded.
But they hesitated to open fire at Salvador Ramos because they did not want to hit any nearby children, Chief Deputy Ricardo Rios of the Zavalla County Sheriff’s office told The New York Times.
The chance to stop the 18-year-old before he carried out his plans for a massacre passed quickly, perhaps in seconds, Rios said.
“Investigators believe this is significant because it indicates they had more than enough firepower and protection to enter the classroom before they did,” wrote Plohetski. “Officers were growing impatient far sooner: ‘If there’s kids in there we need to go in there,’ one said on body camera video.”
It’s not yet known who made the decision to stand down for nearly an hour while the assailant systematically executed the young children and their teachers, but Pete Arredondo, chief of the Uvalde school district police force, called the Uvalde Police Department—on a landline because he didn’t have a radio—at 11:40 a.m. requesting backup.
“It’s an emergency right now,” he said. “We have him in the room. He’s got an AR-15. He’s shot a lot… They need to be outside the building prepared because we don’t have firepower right now. It’s all pistols.” He then waited for the school janitor to bring him keys to the classroom, none of which worked, and then waited for backup to arrive.
All the while, terrified students were calling 911 for help. It would not come for more than an hour. By then, 19 students and two teachers were dead.
Uvalde Surveillance Video Raises Even More Disturbing Questions About Law Enforcement Response
It should be noted that the surveillance video from Robb Elementary School showing the slow-motion response of law enforcement to the tragedy taking place just feet away from where officers were monitoring the situation is difficult to endure — especially when you see law enforcement standing around while the gunmen pulled off dozens of shots.
This video, obtained by the Austin-American Statesman, does not include the sounds of screaming children. That part was edited out, thank goodness.
The video shows multiple responding agencies on the scene, including officers from the Uvalde Police Department, Uvalde County Sheriff’s Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers, U.S. Border Patrol, and U.S. Marshals Service.
Uvalde 'Punisher' screen-lock cop is HUSBAND of teacher killed in school massacre - and was DISARMED and kicked out of building for trying to engage shooter while 16 other officers stood by
- The cop seen checking his phone in leaked footage from the Uvalde massacre has been identified as Officer Ruben Ruiz
- Ruiz is the husband of Eva Mireles, a teacher at Robb Elementary School, who was gunned down that day
- TPS Director Col. Steven McCraw said in June that Mireles called her husband on the morning of the shooting to say she had been 'shot and was dying'
- According to reports, Ruiz tried to get into the classroom in an attempt to save his wife from crazed gunman Salvador Ramos, but was prevented
- Footage of the shooting leaked on July 12, prior to the official release of the video
