Uvalde teacher says she did not prop door open

Edit, thread title should read:
Uvalde teacher says she did not leave door propped open

Interesting story.

She went outside to get food, propping door open with rock.
Heard the shooter was in the school and kicked rock away and closed door.
Door which is supposed to lock when it shuts.....did not lock.

I don't know if I believe this. Highly coincidental that the door that was propped open for a time apparently was also the door that did not lock.

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) initially said a teacher had propped the door open shortly before the gunman, Salvador Ramos, 18, entered the school.

They later walked back the statement and said the teacher had propped the door open with a rock, but then removed it and closed the door when she realized there was a shooter on campus, Travis Considine, chief communications officer for the Texas DPS, told The Associated Press.

While the door was designed to lock when shut, it didn’t do so in this instance, Considine said.

“We did verify she closed the door. The door did not lock. We know that much and now investigators are looking into why it did not lock,” Considine said.
