Uvalde District, Police Reportedly No Longer Cooperating in Investigation
Written by SOURCE on May 31, 2022
The Uvalde Independent School District police force and Uvalde Police Department are no longer cooperating with the investigation by the state’s Department of Public Safety into last Tuesday’s school shooting at Robb Elementary School and the police response to it, ABC News reports.
The news was reportedly revealed by “multiple” law enforcement officials, per ABC News. A Texas DPS spokesperson declined comment to the publication.
The reported lack of cooperation comes after law enforcement officials revealed that police made “the wrong decision” in their delay in confronting the 18-year-old gunman responsible for killing 21 people—including 19 children—at the school. Steven McCraw—director of the Texas Department of Public Safety—previously said the on-site commander on May 24 was “convinced” children were not in danger as the shooting was still taking place.
