San Antonio attorney Don Flanary told the San Antonio Express-News that the Robb Elementary School employee, whom he does not call, closed the door after realizing a gunman was loose.
“He saw the shipwreck,” Flanary told the newspaper.
“He ran inside to look for his phone to report the accident.
“He returned while talking on the phone with 911.
“The men at the funeral home shouted, ‘He has a gun!’ She saw him jump the fence, and he had a gun, so he ran back inside.
“She pulled out the rock when she came in again.
“She remembers closing the door while telling 911 she was firing.
“She thought the door would be locked because that door was supposed to always be locked.”
Fanary told the newspaper that the employee had initially opened the door to bring food from a car to the classroom.
