Correction, Nov. 3, 2022: A previous version of this story included incorrect details of a request to check the classroom of teacher Eva Mireles early in the police response.

And class was reported to be in session by a school district police officer, not a Uvalde officer. That same officer, not a dispatcher, also wrongly reported over the radio at 11:50 a.m. that the school chief was "in the room with the shooter."

Do Police Give Students Tickets in Your Illinois School District?
Correction, May 5, 2022: An earlier version of this database misstated whether some districts provided a racial breakdown of students who were issued tickets. Pontiac Township HSD 90, Naperville CUSD 203, Geneseo CUSD 228 and Northfield Township HSD 225 were listed as not providing race data when in fact they did provide race data, but it covered too few tickets (fewer than five) to meet our threshold for displaying a breakdown. In addition, an earlier version of this database misstated the total number of tickets issued to students in Bradley Bourbonnais CHSD 307 in the school years ending in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The district issued 109 tickets in those years, not 137, a number that included some tickets issued in the current school year.
