survivors say they really do believe the quick actions of first responders probably prevented more deaths. one of the victims of the vta shooting was 63 year-old lars kepler lane. his family filed a lawsuit against the t a saying it didn't do enough to prevent the largest mass shooting in bay area history. kron four's rob nesbitt reports on how they're hoping that the lawsuit will prevent another family from suffering the same loss. >> an attorney for the lane family says the vta its security should have seen the warning signs that the employee who shot and killed 9 people was capable of doing so when the stories of mass shootings make headlines, the deadliest one in bay area history comes to mind. today marks one year since vta employee samuel james cassidy opened fire in a rail yard of san jose civic center neighborhood killing 9 men and then himself. nicholas rallies, an attorney for the family of one of those victims, lars kepler lane to was a hard-working, wonderful man. >> who put others, you know,

to know why it took that amount of time to stop the shooter. the family say that heavily armed officers stood outside the school, restraining them rather than storming the building. and you can see here desperate parents were begging police officers asking them to go inside and save their children. >> rush in and like i know that that that we did see that. for me. that leaves the house. ali, you know, and if anything, fish, it could have been. a lot more. could have been prevented compared the that if you bears at >> as should weather here is done. >> that was the father of 10 year-old jacqueline cazares. he's speaking out because he wants the publoc to know more about what could have been done to save his 10 year-old

daughter and now police are going over the timeline of what happened on tuesday. >> during that time that they're making those calls to bring get help to solve this problem and stop it immediately. there are also evacuating personnel. personnel, students. teachers. there's a lot going on. >> so that there was the regional director at the texas department of public safety. and while the school normally has an armed school safety officer when the suspect arrived on tuesday. they revealed today there was not an officer there. so from after the gunman his grandmother and crashed her stolen car near the school. we got it understanding today of what unfolded at robb elementary. the first 9-1-1 call came in at 11 30, but authorities say the response time is unclear. >> the gunman entered the school through the building's west side around 11, 40 and

walk through the hallways until he reached an open classroom. local police officers arrived on the scene at 11. 45 according to investigators, local police officers took rounds within 4 minutes of the shooter entering the school. authorities said they called for backup within first, exchanging gunfire with the gunman about an hour later u.s. border patrol tactical teams arrived and began trying to get inside. and that's when a u.s. border patrol agent shot and killed the suspect. so today investigators were not able to answer why it took more than an hour to breach the classroom and killed the gunman. they're saying the investigation is not complete. >> but we did learn some other new information, including that the shooter's grandmother who he shot in the face before going to rob elementary school is alive and is in stable condition. it was also announced today the president biden and the first lady will visit uvalde on sunday. ken

initial reports suggest police in uvalde, texas initially followed protocol by engaging the shooter. 4 minutes after he entered robb elementary school. but then were driven back by gunfire. then an hour passed before tactical team re entered the school and took out the shooter. but we need to know is did the shooter stopped shooting number one? >> and where their victims in this in this room who had not been wounded yet. >> higgins says if that was the case, there can be an argument made for waiting to re enter the classroom. >> if there are victims who were not injured still in the room with this subject. if the officers enter and they're not prepared, they don't have the the the equipment and the tools to go waiting gauges subject. then they may create more injuries and more deaths and they don't want that. so there's this balancing act. we'll have we'll have to get more information to see. it wasn't a balancing act. and what were what were the tactics at the time? dan
