TL;DR

Survivors of a shooting in San Jacinto County, Texas, have questioned why police did not arrive sooner after repeated 911 calls. The shooting left five people dead, including a 9-year-old boy. The county sheriff's office has not responded to requests for records that would show how many calls for help were made from the house and how long it took for officers to arrive. The county has about 27,000 residents and more than half of it is the Sam Houston National Forest, with few roads that cut through.
