Border protection agent hailed as hero in aftermath of Uvalde school shooting

As the city of Uvalde, Texas mourns and struggles to understand the actions of law enforcement during that shooting, stories of heroism are emerging. 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 mom who went in with no weapon to rescue her children is the real hero.

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…

[skaetur]

The lady who jumped the fence in defiance of cuffs and instructions is the REAL hero!

[andrewortiz]

I would be embarrassed to show my face in public if I was the sheriff or those fearful cops. They are cowards.

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.

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.

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.

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

[adelinagonzales]

The lady that saved her children is amazing she the real hero. Ulvade should hire her as swat

[benjaminrichard]

Funny we militarize the police but they’re still too scared to engage with an 18 year old…

[benjaminlibertarianscorpio]

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)

With all respect Officer Albarado, everyone showed up but didn’t do enough!!!

[bobsucks]

The parents who tried to enter the school were heroes, calling any of these cops heroes after they let those kids die is disgusting.

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.

[lenawalls]

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

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

[Frank-gtwp]

This guy and also the woman who ran in there to save her child and a class room are both heroes.

[ronalddavis]

There was a mama who got there was handcuffed got up and ran in and found her two children That's a hero

[carolhowell]

Thank you sir for getting into the school to save your wife and your daughter and the other rest of the children out.

[cathyreece]

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.
