Jacob Albarado was in his barber’s chair when both men got text messages about the shooting unfolding at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, last week.
He had attended an awards ceremony at the school earlier that morning and was off duty, with his weapon at home.
His wife Trisha is a fourth grade teacher and their daughter is a student there.
The U.S.
Justice Department is conducting a review of the police response to the school’s response.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said the school district’s police chief didn’t initially send officers into the classroom where the gunman was located because he thought it was no longer an active-shooter situation.
