After hearing about the active shooter situation, Angeli Rose Gomez, a farm supervisor, rushed 40 miles to the school, where her children are in second and third grade.
When she arrived at the school, Gomez said she was shocked by inaction from police officers.
"The police were doing nothing," Gomez told the Wall Street Journal. "They were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere."
Gomez was one of dozens of parents who rushed to Robb Elementary and pleaded with police officers to enter the school, neutralize the gunman, and save the innocent lives inside. But shocking videos show a massive police presence outside the school blocking outraged parents from doing what police were not. In the case of Gomez, police allegedly detained her.
