gunshots while 19 children and two teachers were left to die in their classrooms, according to new footage of the horrifying attack published Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disturbing video, first obtained by the Austin American-Statesman, shows how police officers dillydallied in the hallway of Robb Elementary School instead of charging toward 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos as he systematically slaughtered 21 people on May 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 77-minute clip shows officers rushing into the school just minutes after 18-year-old Ramos began his rampage, but rather than confront him, they stopped and lingered \u2014 with one cop in a helmet and vest even seen using a wall-mounted hand sanitizer and checking his phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officers are also captured fleeing down the hallway when Ramos fires in their direction, according to the footage taken from school security cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"STATESMAN-Embed Player\"

immediate action to stop the bloodbath despite being just yards from the shooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavily armed officers are seen in the video walking around in the hallway, leaving, coming back, talking to each other and making calls during precious moments when they could have been trying to thwart Ramos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
