Uvalde, Texas School Shooting

For about three hours, people demanded the resignation of the school district superintendent and threatened to keep their children out of school until campus security is improved.

The Texas Department of Public Safety has ordered an internal investigation of DPS failures at the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde. 91 DPS troopers were on scene at the school shooting, according to a State House investigative report that described failures at all levels of law enforcement.

"Systemic failures" created a chaotic scene that lasted more than an hour before the gunman was finally confronted and killed at a Uvalde elementary school, according to a report from investigators.

Gov. Greg Abbott at an event about fentanyl was asked a lot of questions about the leak of hallway video from the Uvalde school shooting. He stopped short of making any comments about the way the video was released. But other elected officials are still explaining why they wanted to wait for the video to come out.

A Uvalde police officer criticized over video of him checking his phone during the massacre at Robb Elementary School is the husband of a teacher who was killed in the classroom and had contacted him after being shot, according to a Texas lawmaker.

A day after surveillance video from the Uvalde mass shooting was leaked to the media, families are grappling with what they finally saw for themselves. They reacted in shock to footage that shows increasingly armed officers waiting for commands outside a classroom where children and teachers were dying.

Both statewide and Uvalde elected leaders have said they want full transparency about what happened in the near hour and a half it took for law enforcement to kill a school shooter. They called for the release of surveillance video on their terms, but an Austin-based news outlet had it and released it anyway.

Some lawmakers and journalists have seen the full 77 minutes from the moment the shooter entered the school to the moment law enforcement finally breached the classroom and killed him. It reportedly depicts a damning account of police inaction in the face of tragedy.

The Richardson ISD TA is from Uvalde and attended Robb Elementary School as a child. Now, he is working to make sure teachers have what they need to start over.

The Texas House committee investigating the incident is being blocked from obtaining school surveillance video they want to release to the public.

The report is yet another damning assessment of how police failed to act on opportunities that might have saved lives in what became the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. since the slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.

The Uvalde school district’s police chief has stepped down from his position in the City Council in the wake of the mass school shooting at Robb Elementary that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
