Jacob Albarado is a Customs and Border Protection agent who was off-duty that day, but rushed to Robb Elementary School to save his wife and daughter and assist in the evacuation of dozens of other students. He joined CBS News to discuss his heroic actions on that tragic day.

The unarmed woman who enter to take her kids that’s a real hero; She said the truth to one officer I don’t need your protection , the kids that are inside need your protection…
Are you a hero if you are only saving your own kids for your own self interest
He is not a hero. Media , stop glorifying him please? I would not go on tv if I was him . I would be ashamed of myself .
He's brought in to help carry a cover story in efforts of saving face for his fellow colleague's in blue 🙄 his wife and daughter is safe and his interests are now his employment, he'll say whatever!
@Storytime with Mamabear she is just as much of a hero as the patrol border officer. If you are saying she is a "real" hero because of her gender then that is just plain sexist towards women. Unlike you I see women as equals based on their actions and i dont coddle them because thats sexist. You can only hear that from a man i guess 🤷♂️
i mean both are no? or is this some kinda weird american thing i'm missing?
The mom who went in with no weapon to rescue her children is the real hero.
So now it's that he didn't shoot the shooter? Yes that Mom is incredible, I'm just upset because she said law enforcement called her and threatened her not to tell her story.
Everything hidden will come to Light. May God Bless Uvalde! They will walk hand in hand through this darkness to the Light. Watch.
He did a gofundme that’s disgusting he should return that money to the family of the victim’s …
If she only saved her kids she’s no hero. Now if she saved others while getting her kids then sure she can be labeled a hero
@@brads.3624 She saved others. She was interviewed
The lady who jumped the fence in defiance of cuffs and instructions is the REAL hero!
exactly
That lady is a hero to her children. She went took her children out of the school, but this man is a different type of hero. A hero to his daughter and all the other children in the rooms he helped clear out. He could of stopped helping once he knew his wife and daughter were out, but he didn't. He continued to clear out students and teachers out to safety.
So she saved her kids, that's commendable but she is not a hero? By definition a "hero" is someone who risks their life to save others..
@@e.m.2588 She got two classrooms out because they went in after her. Not her job but she did the police's work for them.
@@kevinwiens4804 hey Whines you miss spelled your name.
The parents who tried to enter the school were heroes, calling any of these cops heroes after they let those kids die is disgusting.
Dam straight
This man was off duty..he ran from barber shop and went in and killed the shooter. He wasnt with other cops
He was the one that acted on the scene and was off duty, neutralized the shooter as soon as he got to the scene, went against the cops advice to stand down, if the cops had even a fourth of the balls he had those children and the teachers wouldn't have been killed
He was an off duty border patrol..
I agree!!!!
He acted because his children and wife were in the school at the time of the shootings. He acted while the 'Good Guys with Guns' sat on their donut stuffed butts not wanting to get shot while children bled to death inside. That Chief of Police now a City Councilman that backed out the police should be prosecuted.
He’s brave going for his kid and wife then realizes it’s not “smart” to go in with a shotgun but no protective gear. 🙁
When he found out that his wife and child was safe; he decided not to go in. He was not an hero.
@@kathyclark2394 That is incorrect information.
@@FirstLast-gv1zl You are one evil person aren't you. He was off duty and not in uniform. He entered bringing three others with him to secure the halls
The real problem is people like you who ran away from a locked door. People as evil and hateful that cause these sort of events by your loose gun laws. - You are not a hero but a Zero - The End.
@@FirstLast-gv1zl you are unfortunately correct.
The more people talk, the worse the situation gets. He said every type of law enforcement imaginable was on the scene. Then why did it take over a hour for them to make a move? There is no excuse anyone can give that doesn't make law enforcement look bad. They don't hesitate to shoot unarmed citizens, but fold when one person has a gun.
Wake up to the mockery going on
Omg I was about to say the same thing! 💯 agree
This is why the POPULATION NEEDS to be armed... Why do the cops have guns if they're not going to protect our kids? This is why the gun debate is so convoluted, the 18 year old shooting kids should be stopped by a well armed and regulated militia/ parents who are willing to fight for their country/families.
By the time he got there the shooting was over .. the shooter was barricaded and not shooting any more .. the agent said it himself .
Plus the metal doors couldn't be breached by the local and city police .. when the tactical team got there they had to use a key to go in and confront the shooter .
@@truthmatters6831 they could have used a window. The window was on the other side. Plus the shooter was hiding in a closet.
I would be embarrassed to show my face in public if I was the sheriff or those fearful cops. They are cowards.
Even a border patrol agent wasn't in uniform but had the balls to take down the shooter after those minutes, If he was a Cop and arrive first he probably would risk his life to stop gunman before he could take 22 lives
@@Brett1997 that's so true.
PREACH Andrew👏👏👏👏👏
They need people like the Mexican military who fought off 40 cartel members and they were only 8. Those guys have balls.
@@edgargarciahernandez2476 mexican police and military have some of the hardest beats I hear.
Must be an awesome feeling for the daughter to be saved by her father in such a frightening situation. To see your father as the saviour who tuns up when waiting for someone "AnyOne" to get you out of there alive.
Must be maddening for the fathers that tried to do the same but were beaten by the same men that looked the other way when a fellow brother in blue saved his family. Must be down right sickening to know you weren't strong enough to defeat a dozen men with guns, taser and mace to save your daughter from a piece of human garbage. Knowing she died with fear in her heart wondering where her daddy was as the muzzle met her face.
@@juandoe2994 damn 😭😭
@@juandoe2994 I know right
Shame the cops wouldnt let all the parents do the same
@@andrewjohnson6162 you have to be a cop. Maybe there should be a kid in every classroom that has a parent in law enforcement that would guarantee cops going in to each class
There was a mama who got there was handcuffed got up and ran in and found her two children That's a hero
And now is being threatened on a daily basis. Poor lady, you talk so the truth can be reached for JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!!
This guy and also the woman who ran in there to save her child and a class room are both heroes.
He went there to save his family but he did what was right! He saved as many children as possible, EVEN after knowing that his daughter was hiding somewhere in that building! He DIDN’T go looking for JUST his daughter, he saved AS many children as possible including his daughter, he was relieved she was amongst the children he was saving along with the officer (s) that were brave enough to help out during that time!!!!!
Do you hear hat he said, that's exactly what he did, now he's defending the brand.
Did you watch at all? He saved his daughter and wife first and then went back and helped evacuate kids.
My words exactly!!!! Praise these few that did react in a very scary atmosphere. Everyone should look at the lives that were saved too. Due to the few who did go in without a second thought!!!!
@@yesitssarahbby17 either ways, he is a hero! Wouldn’t you have done the same thing?
True but that’s only because he was friends with law enforcement that they let him be a hero to other children the other mother only saved her children and other children in there class because cops were after her trying to prevent her from going any farther to save others so she could only do so much and then she got escorted out.
The mother saving her kids is the real hero here
The local police were standing outside picking their noses while this man was running inside to save people including his family (and he was off duty)
I hope those families sue that department for wrongful deaths on multiple counts…… me personally any settlement would be made into a scholarship for college……. Makes me sick 🤒
Not just local police...all sorts of agencies there by that time (19 cops outside shooter area alone!!)
Cowards.
This man is a hero.
There's heros and zeros and those freaking scarry cops are zeros man
He did not go in he stood at the door because he “did not have the proper gear”
And an injured arm 😟
He's border patrol. Border patrol, were the officers who eventually took out the shooter, so he would have been called anyway had he had his gear. Dude got kids out of classrooms, so I'm glad he had the balls to go in.
Hes not the one who killed the shooter its another guy I watched it on tiktok
He never went inside of the school he just went to save his daughter in the outside of her class the outside window
he's a coward. saved only his child and wife and left and failed the victims and the survivors
@@sayittomyfaceidareyou8629 His wife was safe with her students in the funeral home across the street by the time he arrived. His daughter was in her classroom bathroom with other students which he helped evacuate along with other classrooms. No one was evacuating until he came. Instead of calling the only guy there who did something a coward how about focus on the other 50 "police officers" who did nothing while children were being slaughtered.
@@sayittomyfaceidareyou8629 it’s what mattered to him
With all respect Officer Albarado, everyone showed up but didn’t do enough!!!
💯
He saved his own family because his blue line brothers let him. They beat tased maced everyone else.
You should’ve showed up then
Enough? They didn't do squat.
@@alexanderzerka8477 I guess saving and evacuating 500 children and staff is squat
I’m gonna take a moment to thank this guy. He went into the school with no protective gear, or padding on to go in and save his kid and wife. He took the time to go into the building as some dude is shooting the school. This guy helped not only his kid, but so many others. He literally made the officers open the doors when they were being chickens to go in and help people. Even after he found his daughter he continued to help clear out classrooms full of scared children. This is what a hero looks like. This guy is so beyond caring. I feel for his wife and daughter. I may be young [14] but this is a time where I am using my voice
Please stop talking
@@billiehodnett3988 Why what did he say that was bad
Keep using your voice, you have wisdom to share.
I respect your take on this and agree!
He didn't go to where the shooter was...not even the building the shooter was in. In fact, left the area.
A Real MAN he is.
Hailing anyone as a hero in this situation would require immense stretches of all imaginations
He’s a hero to someone. His little girl’s guardian angel. He did something.
Now the clowns in the hall waiting for donuts are a different story.
Hello Bennett how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
Funny we militarize the police but they’re still too scared to engage with an 18 year old…
😶
They were given orders not to engage, the police chief gave them the orders, it was the border patrol tact team two of them that finally engage the shooter because they don't work for the police chief. They have all the comms between the police officers and police chief, plus all the body cams. Can you imagine the
in that hallway as 19 police officers and two BPS agents were arguing as the shooter was killing kids. Is your job more important than the deaths of innocent children?
@@rammone5241 19 police just wait and see ...chief police slow response. .40 minutes its a crucial time but don't do anything just standing outside ......full screams heared from children ..but police don't attack ....courage problem from chief police and local police ..omg
The mom who saved a whole class is more of a hero
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
If these officers would have done there job we wouldn’t have what we have going on now this totally broke my heart and the lady and this man there the real Hero’s and the baby girl that called 911 that lost her life … God love her heart
Calm dowm karen. Wait until you know the whole story before making comments. I wish they would have rushed in and got the shooter too but we weren't there.
@@YTtardsmustdie well I do no this we lost a lot of kids life’s and theme wonderful Teachers that’s what we do no so what do u mean Calm Down … I’m calm I’m just upset my name is Lena
That precious little girl also told the Dispatcher the room. Room 12. You can see the video where Peter is saying thru the door to an insane madman to please put down his gun. What a soft, gutless, idiot. A baby Huey. While a demon is slaughtering babies. The other "officers" wandering around without any common sense. The windows were never utilized. The action should have been to distract him with purpose, rush the windows. This cowardice is going to affect how all US citizens regard safety and protection. And the good citizens like the hero at Greenwood Mall have the right idea to stop the mass killings while Congress talk, talk, talk. Get a gun legally and protect group gatherings, hire security guards with guns for schools, stores, malls, parades, etc. We need security in this country and Uvalde has shown us that we need security beyond the PD. The Uvalde PD officers that did nothing should be prosecuted. Daniel Coronado, a naive good ol boy, told other officers that the killer was barricaded. "We have him contained.". He meant well but he was an example of a mind like a minimal paid security guard in a library. I pray Almighty God punishes Peter A and all his goons who did nothing.
Very humble man. I’d like to know deep down how he feels about local law enforcement being bystanders.
czcams.com/video/R2MHdbsgSV8/video.html
In another interview he says that he thinks law enforcement did everything they could.
@Tiny Princess you are correct. Castle rock v Gonzalez. Doesn't make it any less wrong tho
Hes probably grateful they let him in. He claims they didn't but I don't buy it for one second
@Tiny Princess: It should be. Otherwise, what good are they doing us civilluans?
That man was part of the waiting game.. the farm worker lady who went in after cops put her in cuffs is the real hero..
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
He just saved his family, why is he a hero.
He went into a situation where his kid and wife were threatened, armed, with law enforcement all around him, and helped some additional kids escape from a situation where he felt safe. The mom went into a situation where her kid was threatened, unarmed, with law enforcement not all around her, and helped some additional kids escape from a situation where she did not feel safe. Protecting your interests and doing some things for others when it's significantly more safe is not on the same level as protecting your interests and doing some things for others when it's very much not. The mom acted like a hero. This guy acted like a normal guy.
When did it become a contest? You guys are being big babies about this. His initiative got tens of kids evacuated safely. Who cares if someone elsewhere had more risk and less training. He took action and saved lives where there was no leadership and everyone else was hiding. He should be commended for it.
Thank you !!! Well said 👏
That mom, needs a Medal of Honor !! She even went back in to help get more kids, she was Unarmed!!!!! This guy was armed and had buddies all around him with rifles in hand m, nah
Officers were already getting kids out he just went for his wife and daughter he knew his wife was safe he went for his daughter and got other kids out because he was with more officers the thing is why is he asking for money the other officers helping aren’t asking for some he is using his title hero so people can donate
Well said!
@@Immigrantlovesamerica I think you're missing the point. You need to ask yourself. Would this officer have gone in if he didn't have his child in the school? Something tells me, he would have stood around just like the other cops and let the kids die. There were so many parents willing to risk their own lives to save their kids. Instead, they were detained by the police and made to stand by while the police did nothing as their kids were executed. If you listen to what this officer said, he knew the police officers at the scene. Because of this, he was allowed to go in and save his child while being escorted by other officers. Why weren't the parents who were trying to do the same thing given the same opportunity?
Yes, this man heroically waited a very long time.
I want to name the fierce mother who went in the school who is now being harassed for being a real hero!!!!! She’s a queen 👑
The mum that was untrained unarmed and went and rescued her children is the real hero
the farmer who is currenty being harrassed by the uvalde police department who ran in with no weapon and saved her kids and a whole class is a hero, someone make a go fund me page for her
Thank you sir for getting into the school to save your wife and your daughter and the other rest of the children out.
Hello Carol how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
The lady that saved her children is amazing she the real hero. Ulvade should hire her as swat team!!!!!
As the ENTIRE swat team. Because the rest of the swat team are posers.
He knows they were cowards but doesn't want to say it. Hero? He's not brave enough to call out the scumbags who let those children bleed to death. Disgusting!
Exactly
Children frantically called 911 from a dead teacher’s phone while nearly 20 officers stood outside the classroom for 45 minutes waiting for someone to unlock the door? We need more answers!
It's a giant steel door. They had no explosives or military tools to breach it. It's not wooden door
@@PermanentHigh Why not "Go through a window?"
The same windows that the kids were jumping out of? I'm just saying where there is a will there is a way! I'm Tired of hearing all of these EXCUSES! Where was the SWAT Team? Where were the FEDERAL agents? Outside tazing parents and cuffing them...EXCUSES!
@@PermanentHigh They had C-4..utimately it was 3 BORTAC agents who saved the day! They went in taking fire from the assailant and stopped the killer Ramos and the Killing!
@@kevinwiens4804 I don't know if SWAT or Feds were there that early. From what I'm hearing it was regular cops
@@PermanentHigh No there's video the FEDS were all GEARED up and looking "COOL" were there too..Check out the BLAZE Glenn Beck has the video footage and the "pictures".. to prove it. Where was SWAT? Never even showed up?
Dude was off duty. Like WTF were the cops doing.
Exactly!!
They were waiting on keys from the janitor and a tool from officials to breech the UNLOCKED classroom door. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is a father and husband that a man strives to become. It makes you feel good to know that people like him are around.
MEN, like him are the last chance society has at maintaining order. i agree with your statement.
He even sustained a pre-existing injury...
What about the men that were beaten and tazed for trying to do the same thing? Are they lesser men because they couldn't fight there way in to save their children?
Idk. He’s made multiple appearances on TV now… he kind of mislead people and people thought he killed the shooter. Then he decides to create his own go fund me page. We all hate those damn go fund me and ive never heard of someone creating it for themselves. His wife and daughter were safe and were never in danger since the shooter stayed in those 2 classrooms that connected. He added some sauce to the story about evacuating all those classrooms
A father, sure! Law enforcement officer, hero.....sorry nope!!
I don't even live there and it affected me I cry everyday over all the mother's children I lost my daughter a year ago I lost my granddaughter for years ago I lost my son of year ago so I know they're paying I know they're hearted I know their sorrow and I think those officers were cowards
Sorry 😔
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing!?
No hero here, the woman who went in unarmed evading those cowards to save her children is the REAL HERO!
….they’re BOTH heroes.
Im a 76 year old woman from England and ive just been watching the footage of the policemen in the corridoor i have to say i have never soon such a load of cowardly wimps in all my life hiding behind a wall while innocent children were being killed.shame on them all if i was a parent i would neither trust them or forgive them.to that woman and man from the border force may God Bless you for your bravery.what wonderfull people you are.
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
Saying I went to rescue my daughter and wife is being a hero to just them. If I were a parent with a child that died, this would hurt knowing nobody was there to actually rescue my child.
You must've not watched the part where he was clearing the other classrooms
@@isaiahgarcia4279 so why is he asking now for money that’s not a hero…
Sad that he was able to rescue his daughter but other parents didn’t have that “right”
@@smtz6770 did you read the actual gofundme page????? He said his wife is too traumatized to return to work and they count on her income to pay for his childs sports and traveling for sports. He is trying to help his family thru the healing process and for certain cant do that off one income and especially during this inflation.
@@MR-on8nb there’s a lot of people traumatized he is using his héroe title is like he is charging for his work. The sports has nothing to do with that there’s a lot of students that don’t want to go back or staff, parents.
Sorry to the families that lost there kids in the shooting. My hearts go out to y’all.
This guy had more common sense than all the “trained” officers.
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
This gentleman deserves an award he saved lives
Unlike those other officers who were standing around as cowards
He saved his own family
@@exitscreaming4637 and many others.
The shooter was barricaded in a different part of the school .. the officer outside the rooms were waiting for him to come out .. he had already done his carnage .. he didn't so the doors were opened with keys .
@@exitscreaming4637 his wife was at the funeral home by the time he got there . She and others had already been evacuated .
@@truthmatters6831 that's false, you're believing the police initial narrative that has now been debunked. There were shots in the classroom well after police were waiting outside scared even with all their armor and own assault rifles.
They even got a girl.killed by yelling into the room "yell help if you need help", a girl cried for help and was then executed.
Pathetic cowards.
In the introduction; “ he went in to save his own daughter & his own wife”, HOW is his actions being hailed as heroic? He was a “parent” like the others begging & pleading outside for the cops to save their kids, so how did HE get inside the school? Did the local cops left HIM go in? There’s been several reports from the beginning about cops going in to get “their own children”. Why is he doing interviews? He doesn’t see anything wrong with ONLY being concerned with his family. Cops will intervene even off duty in all sorts of situations, so even off duty he was still a cop, who should have cared about “protecting & serving” EVERYONE, not just his own.
I think he got there earlier than the other parents since his wife texted there was an active shooter .. by the time he got there the shooting had stopped that's why he was able to go in to a different part of the school where his daughter was ..
He admitted he went to the school to get his kid and wife out. But he ended up staying and letting kids exit their classrooms and the school to safety! He ended up being a hero. He didn't know where the shooter was!
He helped many of the students evacuate the classes when the other officers took no action.
The cops knew him he grew up with a few of them so he got a pass !
Watch the interview again. He did take charge and focused also on the other children. Clearing out thenother classrooms. He did this not fully geared up.
And he let us know it was not himself that actually took out the shooter and that the info out there was wrong about his role.
He is still a hero. But I would like to know who took out the shooter also? Was there a hero that did that? Was there a border patrol man who killed the shooter when the local police couldn't muster up courage to go after the active shooter.
Thank you , you took immediate action and did what you could. Thank you! Off-duty border patrol officer in command. Thank you to all who tried and got as many children out of danger as they could.
He is not a hero. He went inside to save his wife and child. He did his duty as a father but not as police .
Doesn’t that also make you a hero for saving your family
@@Ruebenbayona as a parent I will do anything for my kids . It is your instinct and responsibility . As a police officer i will serve my oath and protect my community. I will be honest with you I would be scarred to engage with a shooter. However, I will still do what I need to do to save those kids.
He was off duty
It breaks my heart that they evacuated to a funeral home.
Hello Hera how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
The mother that went in defying law enforcement to get her children and others out of there is more of a hero than this officer. He refuses to speak out against his fellow officers knowing full well that they did nothing to help the students and teachers. The poor mother is being harassed by police officers because she has been telling her side of the story about what actually happened.
So just because the man didnt say what you think he should have said negates what he did? No it doesn't.
Hello Magnolia how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
@@brandonmcduffthank you for this, the Mom is obviously amazing but this comment bashing this man is absurd and unnecessary
Why are we so obsessed with finding a hero? How can anyone use the word 'hero', when 19 children and two teachers have been killed?
This "Hero" set up his own gofundme account for beer and travel. This is still being investigated. He may or may have not helped officers who were already evacuating children from the windows. He did not do more than anyone else there. Period. Open your eyes, people.
Agreed, you can tell he doesn’t want to talk against the cops, you can tell he was on the cops side
Yes, he does not convinced me. He is not telling the whole story. He set up a gofundme account! Why?
What a sorry person,
@@mariaescobar1404 so he can travel with his family 🤦🏻♀️😑 how disgusting to ask money to pursue his dreams 🤬 he is taking advantage of his title hero 😑
He saved children and there are witnesses. He was the good Samaritan. Those cops were cowards and they have no Love. True Love is laying ones Life down for others. Like Jesus said.
Why don’t you guys interview the mom who risk her life to save her kids? You guys need to get her story out because the cops were scared and she was brave. She’s a hero
We can clearly see in the recently released school hallway video that EVERYONE was standing around doing nothing for 30+ minutes. Even after hearing the shooter fire 4 times in the classroom it took them about 20 minutes to go in there. It's sad all around.
He did all that while having a preexisting injury. Yet the 19 officers sat idly by not doing anything for more than an hour until Jacob went in. Thank you Jacob Albarado for what you did in evacuating the students and staff.
Also when she asked about active shooter training, I will admit that I have taken CPR/First Aid training for more than 20 years and only had to use it once a few years ago when my co-worker had a medical emergency. You trained for it and it only kicks in when there is an emergency going on and how you respond to it.
You are A Man, a Husband and a Father who went above and beyond any others!
They previously reported that this man shot the shooter. That was apparently misinformation. So who shot the shooter? We want to hear from him. There has been so much disinformation.
Border patrol elite BORTAC agent shot the shooter. It's a white guy with a beard.
Dolly, you are right, it actually was not Jacob Alabarado, he has said so in other news interviews,
But he was one of three that stormed the building, while Jacob was one of the 3 BORTAC agents who did go in and risk his life to ultimately subdue the killer! czcams.com/video/O2oanxSHJHg/video.html
That's EXACTLY what I'm wondering as well... do they even know? Or it that a lie too? 🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔
@@IAmTheeRaquiB Of course "They know" his identity is being kept secret, in order to "protect him" it's the least we can do for him, we do not need to know his real name or his face? He is undercover...so the drug cartell does not assassinate him...
There were 3 BORTAC agents who went in took ACTION and SAVED the day! While the 'Keystone cops' and the FEDERAL agents! Were trying to decide what to do? For 30 to 45 minutes...
Something isn’t right. 🤨
“I didn’t have my gear so it wouldn’t have been smart to go in.” THE KIDS DIDNT HAVE GEAR EITHER but you had a shotgun!
So you didn’t communicate, you just made your own decisions while the shooter was there and got your daughter out before neutralizing the threat and save those bleeding children??? Nothing but cowards. Poor babies.
Agreed. This news reporting has not been vetted. They r rushing in with cameras and the story changes every day. Vet the reporting
@@iyamwhatiyam547 I think it’s good that they’re all lying on camera so we can have it documented.
So who shot the shooter? At least he was doing something not just standing in the hall. This is a mess. I don’t even know what to say
He didn't go in where the active shooter was. He didn't hear the shooting. He just helped get kids out, was relieved to see his daughter get out and stayed on to evacuate more kids.
The police let him in to save his family like they did with other blue line gang members. They let the children of the lowly citizens die.
"I tried to get in there as fast as I could"-this hero knew time was essential.No gear,no communication,rescued multiple classrooms.
Hello Christiane how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
Why don’t we get an interview with the Border Patrol Agent that actually took out the shooter? How about that? Because I feel like this is a pointless interview, and I keep seeing him pop up in interviews as someone who can only tell us that he was trying to find his wife and daughter and help get kids out that other officers were already helping out at the time…
This guy is a glory hound not a hero. He selfishly saved his own daughter while turning his back on all the other children. Some of whom even died when he did this.
hmmmn more questions than answer
@@lookingforwyatteearp3137 Unless he is lying, he said he helped clear out about 5 classrooms and that it was his idea to do so. So, yes he was motivated to save his wife and daughter, but he saved a lot of other kids too. I'm not seeing the selfishness.
This guy! is this a green screen or is he in NYC making rounds at every news station. Omg! He only helped his kids and wife. He is like evey other cop that stood at that school and didnt do anything because he didnt have his gear. If u have a gun that is enough.
@@jazamaraz8029 Other officers were already doing that according to what he said…
I'm sorry but how is this guy a "hero"..? He didnt go in and stop the shooter. He got his own kids out just like the local cops and then made sure the parents who werent cops couldnt do the same. Hes no different then any of the others cops that stood around
I absolutely agree with you
Right?! Why is he getting air time to talk about his selfishness?
@@tamlynn786 I think it's because people are confusing him with the other border patrol agent that actually shot the guy. That agent was actually hit by gunfire
@@Augusto88359 yes, like the other cops who evacuated the kids . Meanwhile, there were 8 to 9 students alive. They were all in one classroom with a shooter. No one charged into the classroom to save these kids and engage with the shooter. That was the most upsetting part. They did not do their sworn duties which are protect and serve oath.
@@Augusto88359 How sad ?
I thought the police officers go through the training to be prepared in active shooter situations and are trained to confront the attacker .
Not these bootlicker trying to make heroes out of themselves, easy to say "they did everything they could" when his family is ok.....
Not a single person in law enforcement was a Hero that day. Shame on them!
This guy needs to be elected Sheriff of Uvalde. He's clearly got more balls and backbone than the entire sheriff's and police department.
He was motivated because his child and wife was there. He was acting as a father and husband first. He didn’t even bother to get his gear to communicate with the delinquent cops to fight the shooter!
he didnt go to the shooting he went to his daughters class which was on the other side of the school not anywhere close to where the shooting was happening. Then he makes a gofundme asking for money for the haircut he didnt get.
No, he shouldn't.
It is so crazy how border patrol is negatively scrutinized in south Texas with every decision they take. More often than not the media and people create negative depictions of this agency. He did the job that police officers were apparently not experienced enough to do in their own jurisdiction. All in all this situation is so horrific but if no one would have taken action to neutralize the threat, let’s face it their would have been more casualties. Thank you USBP.
They let a brother in blue save his own family while they let non-blue line members children die
People and the media don’t do nuance well. Even you are struggling with it in this comment. Border Patrol and the institution have plenty of just criticism. This man independent of his role as USBP did a heroic act that day. His heroic act does not absolve BP of genuine criticism.
BP is not above criticism as an institution. The enforcement methods esp those created under Trump are questionable & even inhumane. The CBP officer who rushed in & killed the shooter did so voluntarily & valiantly, it was not a CBP systemic operation.
Most definitely (Mr. Alvarado USBP AGENT) done exactly what" UPD" should have done. There was only "one shooter" RAMOS how many "officials " were at the scene from minute one????? That easily could have taken "RAMOS "down way before "21" innocent lives were lost. Follow the timeline and see how many chances there was to end this massacre waaaaaaay before "RAMOS" made it to the classrooms!!!👀🙈🙉🙊WTF
He did what any parent would have done! What the parents outside the school were trying to do. But instead put in handcuffs and threatened with arrtest! He didn't do it as border patrol agent. So lets see it for what it really is!!
“At one point…I was there at the door, fixing to go in. But, once again, I didn’t have any of my gear. It wouldn’t have been a smart move for me, all those guys had their gear and stuff so, like I said, I pulled back.”
So how exactly is he a hero, he only went in the school to save his own. He may be a hero to his family but that's it. Evacuating kids doesn't make you a hero, if it did y'all would be calling the cowardly police heroes too considering they were also evacuating kids.
Even the woman who went in to save her own child isn't a hero. Many people would risk their life to save their kid. Nothing heroic about that. Now had she gone classroom to classroom to evacuate all the kids? Yeah then we could call her a hero.
The women who entered in got her kids out on her own with no weapons is the real hero in my book..
Border Patrol Agent = A HERO IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!!! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! A TRUE SELFLESS AMERICAN HERO!!! THANK YOU!!!
You need to ask yourself. Would this officer have gone in if he didn't have his child in the school? This is just my opinion but something tells me, he would have stood around just like the other cops and let the kids die. There were so many parents willing to risk their own lives to save their kids. Instead, they were detained by the police and made to watch while the police did nothing as their kids were executed. If you listen to what this officer said, he knew the police officers at the scene. Because of this, he was allowed to go in and save his child while being escorted by other officers. Since he was already there, he took the opportunity to save the other kids. Why weren't the parents who were trying to do the same thing given the same opportunity as this officer? What the officer did to save the other kids was commendable. However, again I do not think he would have done what he did if he did not have any kids in the school.
And another thing, this officer commented that he believes all the officers on the scene did everything they could. I wonder if still would make that statement if he was prevented from going in and as a result loses his child.
God bless the innocent angels, their families, and this man
Proud of you man. Thank you for taking the first steps.
The barber is more of a hero than anybody in the police department
He saved no one but his own child
Amazing those interviewers never asked how or why he got permission to go in to save his wife and kid, and not the other parents. More inconsistencies. But hopefully, the DOJ investigation will give us more truth.
I'm assuming they knew he was part of law enforcement and trained to use a gun etc... while most parents are probably not. And also he had a gun and knew how to use it while other parents may not had a gun at all so they would have walked into a bigger massacre. Even Jake said he knew he was no match for the AR-15 having only a long gun.
@@shotjohnny he said he went into the building then changed it up midway saying he did not enter the building because he had none of his gear with him at the time. Does that make sense to you? If he is not on duty he is considered a civilian at that point so that wouldn’t make any sense either.
The DOJ will do nothing but cover up and put down the investigation by the Texas rangers.
Katie You might want to consider That Mr. Albarado had "special training" as a BORTAC agent, that no civilian has had..as much as I admire those parents who wanted to go inside, they would only add to the Chaos and confusion inherent in a LIVE SHOOTER event, and would ultimately end up getting themselves shot as well as preventing the children's rescue! i.e. They would have been in the way of the Rescue efforts..
@@kevinwiens4804 it's pure prejudice. They let him in because he is part of their gang. Plain and simple. They don't care about you or your family and proved it that day.
What about the mom? Give her a medal
👏👏👏👏👏👏This Agent!!!!! You saved many other kids sir!!!!
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
According to himself. His story changed from going to a window to help his daughter to now suddenly helping and even initiating evacuations? Not
buying it.
This man… He is definitely a hero ❤️. This world would be a better place if there were more people like him❤️ his wife and daughter must be so proud 🥲
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
HERO!! IT ALSO TOOK HIM MORE THAN AN HOUR BEFORE HE DECIDED TO ENTER THAT CLASSROOM AND KILLED THAT SHOOTER!! HE TOO FAILED😡😡 I SAW THE WHOLE VIDEO.
only a dad would do what he did...... you are amazing, thank GOD for you!!!!!!
Thank you for going in when others didn't.
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
If he speaks against them they would crucify him so he doesn’t all law agencies protect each other; prayers to all the families victims of this terrible crime.
No law enforcement was a hero that day
Thank you and law enforcement that helped the children out, 🙏🙏🙏
Law enforcement allowed 21 people to be killed while they watched
What did the cops do for 74 minutes? Chicken sh&t
What? Law enforcement protected ONLY THEMSELVES and stood by KNOWING THAT CHILDREN WERE BLEEDING TO DEATH AND DIDN'T EVEN TRY THE DOOR! FOR 77 MINUTES, WHILE MERE 9 YEAR OLDS CALLED 911 AND BEGGED FOR HELP AS THEY DIED.
U went in and saved your own child and that's it!!!!!!! Another one who should be fired! And your wife a teacher left the school WITHOUT your daughter???? WTH!!!!
The first interview I saw with this guy he said he got there but didn’t have all of his gear so he decided to wait outside of the door. That interview is still available to watch. This story is very different from that one.
No don’t do that . there will be an investigation and everything will be on display .don’t jump to conclusions, not yet .
Where is the interview?
@@lilysungh6071 I don’t know how to link to other videos, but there is a Today Show interview he did the day before this one. In this one he describes himself being more assertive, for instance telling other officers to open doors and send the kids to him, that sort of thing.
@@mariolobos7120 I didnt make any conclusions in that statement. I simply pointed out that the story He detailed in this interview is different from the one he detailed in an interview the day before. I don’t need an investigation to observe this. I made no conclusion about why this was so or which one was more factually correct.
@@fun4me52 what part of the story did he change ?
ANY Cop who did not engage the threat because he lacked tactical gear (which he has said) ... is NOT a HERO, (The soldiers that fought bravely in WWII did not have Kevlar) ... The mother who jumped over the fence to go into the school after her kids (after having her handcuffs removed) IS THE HERO.
NOBODY that was present that day with a gun can be deemed a hero, it is incredibly unfair and disgusting.
How? This man wasnt there, wasn't on duty, and went down there to save as many ppl as he could. I know everyone just wants to hate everyone involved but the fact is this guy actually did the best he could.
The woman who went in not knowing if her two children were alive, who was handcuffed then released. Who jumped the fence, saved her boys, did exactly the same as this border patrol guy did, she had no protection at all with no gun. She helped clear students from rooms as well not just her children, who was running back and forth. U can see it in a video, this courageous woman is now being harassed by the Uvalde law enforcement. She has more balls on her chest then any of those brothers of his he’s protecting had between their legs… off with them!
Why wasn't he stopped from saving his loved ones like everyone else?
He had a shotgun
Because he said everyone knows him. 🙄 SMH
He's border patrol. Border patrol was who eventually took out the shooter, so he would been called and gone had he had his gear. Dude was got the kids out of the classroom, so I'm glad he had the balls to go in.
“Doing everything they could…” Which may not have been much, if they were following orders from above not to go in. It’s difficult to excuse, even then, though. Very very upsetting how the police handled this terrible situation.
This tragedy just increases the argument that everyone who wants to protect their selves and children should carry concealed. If you're relying on cops to save you are living in a fantasy world!
The police was told to not go in. Because they were told not to go in. Research false flag operations
wild Not really. There are plenty of dummies that support gun control even after this.
@@cesarmedina7080 Gun control doesn’t mean zero guns. Get a grip.
How he a hero cuz he saved his own family stop the bs he ain’t try n go shoot the threat
The woman who saved her kids just did a interview saying that the police is targeting her because she's been vocal about what the police did
That's strange. When they first interviewed him, he didn't say anything about helping kids or assisting in getting them out. Anyway, as he said, everybody knows me, he keeps repeating this, everybody knows me. He must be known very well. They just let him right in. While all of the other fathers were told, no dice, back off. What a lucky guy. Way to go Jake.
Why don’t you post a link to that interview you’re talking about?
I agree. Why does the news want a hero here. It’s this man’s job to rush in. This is for ratings and does nothing to solve the issue of out of control Gun laws which led to the little ones murders.
@@issmo9122 we can’t let this tragedy be reduced to a ratings bonanza. That officer did his job. Cops aren’t cops only when on duty. They r obligated to do their duty 24/7.
I actually did read of him going back to help get kids out before being interviewed more.
@@iyamwhatiyam547 I totally agree. Cops are never “off duty”.
Your a hero. God bless you and all the families who are suffering from this horrific tragedy
Hello Betty how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
This man was did what the police officers should've done since the beginning. It's an active shooter. You don't wait. You go in there and try to save as many lives as you can and it's the same whether you're on duty or not, as long as you're there.
Hello friend how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
He didn’t just rescue his daughter. He took the initiative and kept helping classes get out of the building safely even after his daughter was safe. Without a protective vest. He did more than many of his colleagues who were armed to the teeth and hanging back while children were shot and bled out.
So while all the parents had to wait outside the school. Cops holding the line, pushing and tasering parents trying to save their own babies are kept away from the building… but this cop got special privilege to be able to go inside, and get his OWN wife and child…. How is this guy a hero again?!? This isn’t heroism, this is selfish and chilling af 😬 turns out you need to be related or married to a cop in order to get special treatment.
Plus, he did not even confront the shooter, too scared because of “not having gear.”
@@nestum23 - Yea it’s disgusting how they’re trying so hard to turn this into a heroic story… it’s clearly a push from the PR police. They need hero stories to show not everyone messed up. But this just shows how police protect their own, and that’s it.
@Lynette Agueda - I hadn’t heard about the mom!! That’s insane! The will and bravery of her’s trumped all of those cops at that scene. … it’s hard not to see all the articles and videos, since this story is everywhere. But it’s difficult to look into everything. Mainly cause the more I read into this situation, the worse it gets. There were so many opportunities to stop this. And these cops found out at the worse possible time, that this job wasn’t for them. They really failed these children 💔
Why is he giving sooooo many interviews? Why does he along with so many think his actions were heroic, instead of what they actually were, “self centered & cowardly”?
correct, he also did nothing about the shooter because " he didn't have his gear".. he never even entered the building.. and his wife saved herself, she was across the street when he arrived..
If the border protection agent risked his life to save the kids, promote him to police chief. Change is needed. Justice has to be served. Officers who failed to save the kids should be fired and stripped off their pensions. They don’t deserve to represent the people of that community.
He didn't risk his life..in fact he never entered the building..
Defundig the Police does nothing but make them more incompetent. Police need more funding more training more drills
@@bellesmom1960 well if that’s true, and he never went in to save children, why would he go on national television?
@@PermanentHigh they need to “clean” house . How can the officers’ live with themselves knowing that they failed to protect those innocent children? What happened to moral obligation? “Kick” those officers including their superiors off the force, eliminate their pensions for failing to risk their lives to protect young citizens.
@Tiny Princess who’s job is it? Are citizens being forced to police themselves?
they keep asking who's in charge so they can blame someone.
God bless this man and all the children
This guy is not a hero, and these interviews only asked softball questions. This was a horrendous tragedy and the media is refusing to hold law enforcement accountable for their cowardice in the line of duty.
Yes he is clown
He is no hero. He is a Glory Hound. He selfishly saved his own daughter while turning his back on all the other children leaving some of them to die.
I'm tired of the media treating this selfish punk as a hero.
He is a hero he killed the shooter when other police cowards just watched from afar.
@@magnetacyan5032 he didn’t
@@magnetacyan5032 He is NOT the one who killed the shooter. He saved his child and that is it. On duty Border Patrol are the ones who killed the shooter.
For that lady to run in and get her kids that let u know she knew the cops wasn’t sh*t . She knew she couldn’t put her lives in there hands and that’s a shame . This is America
What a hero, God bless him
Hello Sabrina how are you doing today and how is your family doing?
He is a very honest man he went there and did something that should have been obvious to the other officers. He got children away from an active shooter who had the potential ability to attack anybody in that school. In my experience some people see what needs to be done and from their previous experience and training they start to do it. Even though you always get a rush of adrenaline that you need to control. Some people through no fault of their own cannot control that Rush of adrenaline and do something coherent to help. The point being if you do not have that ability to control and react in a positive way you should not take a job that puts you in those situations.
