A new wave of anger has swept through Uvalde over surveillance footage of police officers in body armour waiting in the hallway of Robb Elementary School while a gunman fired on children and teachers.

The video published on Tuesday by the Austin American-Statesman is a disturbing 80-minute recording of what has been known for weeks now about one of the deadliest school shootings in US history: Heavily armed police officers, some with rifles and bulletproof shields, massed in the hallway and waited more than an hour before going inside and stopping the massacre.
