Firearms instructor breaks down Uvalde video

Kevin Cummins, a certified advanced firearms instructor, joins the Mark Reardon Show to share his reaction and break down the recently released Uvalde school shooting video.

“After Columbine, the school of thought was you get in there, you move as quickly as possible no matter what it is. You get in there and take the guy out, whatever it takes. You don't develop a plan. We work on these plans ahead of time before anything happens. Hopefully each department does this with their local schools, their local entities, their businesses, and they have got something down that they know how to enter and how they're gonna group because they train to do this. You don't decide how you're going to start training when the incident erupts,” said Cummins

Later he stated, “It appears there was no central command, No one, was the leader. The person who, from what I understand was presumed to be the leader, didn't even have his radio there and didn't know that he was in charge.”
