Philip Bump: “Again: a lot of this is uncertain. But it does appear that more than 20 people were killed despite a security officer at the scene when the gunman arrived and despite the police being there soon after the killing began.”

“In other words, there were lots of ‘good guys with guns’ in Uvalde, as the rhetorical line goes. But 19 kids died anyway.”
