As per news report of NDTV, The 911 calls "were not being communicated to the so-called incident commander," Senator Roland Gutierrez told a news conference, referring to the school district's police chief, Pete Arredondo. "There is human error, there is system error," Gutierrez said, adding it was unclear exactly who all was receiving the calls, but that he had been told it was only the Uvalde city police. Officers have come under intense criticism over why they waited more than an hour to neutralize the gunman after arriving at the school. Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) director Steven McCraw has admitted that delaying was the "wrong decision."
