But, the lawmakers charged, the situation was “chaotic” due to the officers’ “lackadaisical approach” to subduing the gunman. According to the text, which does not incriminate certain police teams over others, law enforcement officers “failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety.”
But no other officers offered to help or replace him, the report said. “There was an overall lackadaisical approach by law enforcement at the scene.”
