“Right now we do not have an accurate or confident timeline to provide to say the gunman was in the school for this period,” Lt. Christopher Olivarez told CNN. Olivarez also clarified that a school security officer outside was armed but that initial reports said he and Ramos exchanged gunfire need to be corroborated.

Ramos’ attacked ended when a U.S. Border Patrol team arrived and shot him to death. A fourth grader who survived the shooting told local news station Kens 5: ““When the cops came, the cop said: ‘Yell if you need help!’ And one of the persons in my class said ‘help.’ The guy overheard and he came in and shot her,” the boy said. “The cop barged into that classroom. The guy shot at the cop. And the cops started shooting.”
