Police under fire for snubbing five 999 calls at terrified school

An inquiry has been ordered after police failed to respond to five 999 calls from a primary school reporting an armed intruder.

The man broke into the school brandishing a lump of wood and threatened staff by telling them 'you're dead'.
School had finished for the day, but there were still children inside and frantic staff rang 999 on five occasions over a 50-minute period. Eventually the man left of his own accord, but officers never turned up to investigate.
