‚Please send the police now‘: Uvalde student called 911 multiple times during shooting

The first 911 call came in at 12:03 p.m. local time. McCraw said the girl whispered that she was in room 112. The call lasted one minute and 23 seconds.

The girl called back again at 12:10 and said multiple people were dead, he said. She called at 12:13, and again at 12:16 to say that eight or nine students were alive.

At 12:19, a second student called 911 from room 111, according to McCraw. The girl hung up when another student told her to, he said.

McCraw said that during a 911 call at 12:21, three shots could be heard in the background. An additional call came in at 12:36 but only lasted 21 seconds. The director said the first girl called 911 again and „was told to stay on the line and be very quiet.“

At approximately 12:43 and 12:47, the girl asked a 911 operator to „please send the police now,“ McCraw said.
