As per news report of BBC, Meanwhile, reports have emerged that frustrated onlookers urged police to charge into the school to stop the attack, but that they did not do so. Texas officials say Ramos was there for 40 minutes before he was killed. Eyewitness Juan Carranza, 24, told the Associated Press that women shouted to officers to "go in there". Javier Cazares, whose daughter was killed in the attack, told the agency he suggested running in with other onlookers because the police "aren't doing anything". The shooting, which left 19 children and two adults dead, has reignited a long-running US debate on gun control. Many have called for stricter gun buying laws, while others are sceptical that they would stop mass shootings. Thirty minutes before he began his attack, Ramos posted in a private message on Facebook that he planned to kill his grandmother. A later post declared he had done so, and in a final one sent 15 minutes before the shooting, he announced he would target an elementary school.
