Initial Perceptions vs. Reality

• 🏃‍♂️ While on the 911 tape he described the individual as running, he later acknowledged on video he was walking at a regular pace, attributing the discrepancy to stress.

Observations of Other Officers

• 📹 He saw on video that these officers stopped at the corner and did not follow the shooter onto the campus.
• ❓ He had no personal knowledge of why these officers stopped or what they did, as his attention was focused on reporting to 911.

Communication with Law Enforcement

• 🚶‍♂️ He confirmed that this officer did not immediately enter the school through that specific door.
• 🚗 He also confirmed that the officer did not follow Adrian Gonzalez, who drove towards the school at a fast pace.

Limitations of Observation
