Border patrol agents defy orders from the local police chief and stormed the classroom after, confusingly, having to find a staff member with a key to the door. They exchanged fire with the gunman and killed him.

Numerous police were at the scene, within feet of the shooter, just 2 minutes after he entered the school and began firing. Dozens of police were at the scene just 8 minutes later. About 20 minutes after that, federal agents armed with tactical gear were on the scene.
And it wasn't until another half hour later that they entered the classroom to engage the shooter.
Not one armed officer entered the classroom where little kids were being massacred until over an hour after they began arriving at the scene.
Will add as more info is available.
