In one of the clips, you see a trooper approaching Sgt. Juan Maldonado, who was recently fired for his actions on May 24th.
"God this is so sad, dude. He shot kids, bro," Sgt. Maldonado can be heard saying on the video.
Comments heard in the video show the fear in troopers and other law enforcement before entering the building.
Officer 1: "Want to jump the f-----g gate or what?"
Officer 2: "What is the safest way to do this? I'm not trying to get clapped out."
Officer 1: "Me neither"
Officer 2: "I called Mike and knows he's SRT. So, I think they got notified so it will be on their way too. But I know that this is like something needs to be done like ASAP. And I also don't like standing right by the windows where we can get shot, bro."
More than 40 minutes after the shooter entered the school, officers are still at a loss in the hallway just feet away from school rooms where the shooter is hiding with the children and teachers.
Officer: "Who are we waiting on?"
"At the moment you have those police officers outside the classroom the only thing to save those children the only between bad guy and children, is you the police officer," says Jimenez. "If you do not act people are going to die. You have to act."
Officer: "We cleared this room, correct?"
"This is what happens when teams do not train together, explains Jimenez. "Integrated response... fire, EMS, law enforcement ... this is what saves lives."
Officer 1: "Are they waiting on us?"
Officer 2: "They are waiting on a response team."
Officer 3: "They're already there?"
Officer 2: "I don't hear no one trying to negotiate or anything."
