However, parents at Flores Elementary said students weren’t allowed to leave or they could face repercussions, including a possible three-day suspension.Parents also told KSAT that school administrators were keeping the kids inside the auditorium and gym.In the video, Ana Rodriguez is seen knocking on the door of the elementary school and showing her ID, as part of the protocol, before going inside.When she steps foot in the building, the video shows that she is immediately confronted by a DPS trooper, whose name hasn’t been released.“I have my ID and I’m gonna get my kid out,” Ana said.The DPS trooper is seen grabbing Ana and turning her around, forcibly pushing her toward the exit.“I’ve already told her, she’s going to be under arrest if she continues...” the trooper said in the video.Eventually, the trooper pulls away and she is let into the building to retrieve her son.Before the exchange is over, the trooper said, “My camera is on,” before closing the school door.Ana now has bruises on her arm from the confrontation, but she was able to get her son out of school.“When your daughter is murdered on school grounds, then you talk to me sir,” she said.Sen. Roland Gutierrez is now calling for a full investigation into the incident and is requesting bodycam footage.“The way that these grieving parents have been treated by the people that failed them is totally unfair,” Sen.
