I see nothing sinister.

I’m in a public high school, doors get propped open all the time. Mostly by the students, and usually un-propped by teachers and staff, who generally have keys/swipe ID’s to get in.

Anytime where you have a situation where “no you can’t get back in here, you have to walk all the way around the building instead” you’re gonna have doors propped open.


Add to that that years go by with nothing bad happening. People get complacent



And therein lies the problem..
And did the shooter know that door would probably propped open?
The thing is, is that it appears that a teacher looked out that door, called 911, went back inside, and didn't shut the door.

My understanding is there was only one teacher, a guy (not too many guys on staff at most elementary schools) who was out in the parking lot and who called 911 about the shooter wrecking his truck in the drainage ditch in back of the school.

The shooter opened fire on the building from the parking lot before he gained access, not the action of someone who knew he could walk right in.

That same teacher, still outside, was apprehended as a suspect by the first SRO to arrive on the scene. At that point the shooter entered the building.
The lawsuits will probably start filing Tuesday, that may shed some light on things.
