*She also stated the push bar on the inside of the door sometimes would not return to fully lock.*
I think this answers the question of whether or not the grandmother, a teacher’s aide, would have a key. Even this teacher didn’t have a key, or she wouldn’t have to prop the door open just to get something from her vehicle.
This teacher also says she heard gunfire from within the school, presumably in the other two classrooms for over 30 minutes. According to the idiots in the local police department, that’s not possible as it was a hostage situation. I don’t know how the chief of police for the school district can sleep at night. Literally did everything wrong you possibly can and still has a job. There’s got to be some serious corruption in this town/County.
The question will be was the door locked before it was propped open with a rock?
The staff KNEW they were not supposed to go out that door except for emergencies. That’s why the rock was used and there was not a legit doorstop available.
“...the push bar on the inside of the door sometimes would not return to fully lock”

Everyone is familiar with this.
A door that would lock behind you, if gravity were allowed to run its course by slamming the door shut against the doorstop, doesn’t lock behind you if you defeat the normal course of the force of gravity by gently returning the door to an “almost closed” position without having first gained any rotational momentum around its hinge. As long as nobody uses the door while you are darting out to your car in the parking lot, you are “golden”.
You can re-enter the building, having defeated the intended function of the heavy door and its gravity-assisted locking mechanism.
Of course, the least maintenance, regularly performed on the door, such as keeping both the locking mechanism and the hinge clean and well-lubricated, and makes this maneuver impossible (hence the nearby rock).
But it is that amount of maintenance that nobody who parks a car in that lot wants done, so it doesn’t get done.
The rock is only used as a “backup” (i.e., when the door’s automatic locking mechanism is (annoyingly) functioning as designed).
That’s OGINJ’s theory, and OGINJ is sticking to it.
Around the 18 minute mark she mentions they’ve had multiple lock downs in that school this year due to “what’s happening at the border.” Yet zhao biden only wants to restrict guns, not close the border.
This isn’t the door was the problem ultimately.
It’s the classroom door and how DIFFICULT they make it for teachers to get it locked in a timely fashion
That’s why he got inside the classroom but no one is focusing on that.
And it’ll happen again. Because a huge portion of classroom doors are this design.
As I suspected. The door was routinely propped open by teachers for the CONVENIENCE of running to their cars. DAMN. And yes, they never fully pulled the door shut to click it locked. This upsets me, were off on gun control, again. All these schools need to do is LOCK THE DAMN DOORS and have a guard at the main entrance. This stupidity sickens me.
“She described how she and the students sought refuge by hiding in the classroom and praying.”
-Uh oh!! She’s gonna be fired and on trial for that!!
She placed four calls to 911 to report her observations using a smart watch. Several of the calls were unsuccessful in reaching the operator.”
