Well trained, well disciplined. less than 10 minutes. Not a hour later some officers ignore orders and go in - like in Texas. Fast response is the top priority in training for these situations. And in Tulsa it worked.
BTW: Not that it matters. The shooter was not happy with the outcome of a surgery he had a week or so before, so on the 29th he purchase a semi-automatic hand gun (.40 Cal) and on the day of the shooting he purchase an AR-15 style weapon. 30 casings of 0.223 were found on the scene, and 8(? something like that) casing of .40 found on the scene. He left a letter saying he was going to kill the doctor and anyone that got into his way. It took him almost 40 rounds to accomplish his goal. I guess others ( like patients and doctors) got in his way.
And one last point. And I am NOT saying this is why there was so much difference between the two shootings. But, the victims in Texas were poor minority children, and the victims in Tulsa were rich white guys.

Uvalde is city with a population of 16,000 with a police force that reflects that number. Tulsa has a population of 400,000. Who do you expect to have a better trained and staffed police department?
Then your race baiting at the end is just sick!
