From The Hill:
Rep. McCaul said SWAT team member told him of stand down

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul (R-Texas) said a SWAT team member told him a commanding officer ordered his team to stand down during last week’s Navy Yard shooting.
“I just happened to bump into one of these SWAT team members outside the classified briefing room in the Capitol,” McCaul said on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper.”
“And he told me about how—and I heard this firsthand—that his commanding SWAT team officer told them to stand down, that they were there eating breakfast and that he told them to stand down,” said McCaul . . .
Washington’s police union is investigating reports that members of the U.S. Capitol Police force were told to stand down instead of engaging the shooter involved in the attack. They were reportedly some of the first people at the scene who could handle the gunman. . .
A number of other reports have also surfaced that say first responders’ radios malfunctioned when they were on the scene of last week’s massacre. . .

I saw this interview myself today on CNN, but it is not on their website. A search of Google news turns up only the coverage of it on The Hill. Maybe it's not on CNN's website yet or they don't put all their items on their website, but when the SWAT team members at the Boston Massacre contradicted the official narrative in describing the wounds of the suspect, that footage was originally on the CNN website but was removed a short time later. It was saved and put on the web by someone else. Hmmmmm.
