According to an interim report by a state House committee that investigated the May 24 shooting, Gutierrez and others at the school knew the lock for Room 111, where the gunman entered and killed most of his victims, wasn’t working properly. The teacher in that classroom, Arnulfo Reyes, had reported to school officials that his classroom door didn’t always lock properly but no one prepared a work order to have it fixed, the report says.
The report also says Gutierrez never attempted to use the school’s intercom system to warn teachers and students that a gunman had entered the school. She told the committee that she used an app called Raptor to initiate a lockdown “but she had difficulty making the alert because of a bad wifi signal,” the report says.
Reyes told the committee he didn’t recall receiving an alert about the gunman.
