Panicked children and teachers placed half a dozen calls to 911 emergency services from the Texas classrooms where a massacre was unfolding, according to an official on Friday, who also said that a teacher propped open a door minutes before the shooter entered.

At least two children called the 911 emergency number from the two connecting classrooms after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered with a rifle, said Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Some of the students trapped in the classrooms with the shooter survived the massacre, including at least two who called 911, McCraw said, though he did not offer a specific tally.
