The analysis obtained by media outlets Sunday was meant to set the record straight after police botched the response—and then kept changing their story.
At a press conference several hours later, state Rep. Dustin Burrows , the committee’s chairman, emphasized the simple phrase that best encapsulated the report’s contents: “multiple systemic failures.”
“The Committee issues this interim report now, believing the victims, their families, and the entire Uvalde community have already waited too long for answers and transparency,” the report reads, according to a copy reviewed by The Daily Beast. “The school’s 5-foot fence was inadequate,” he explained at the press conference. “Despite a policy of locked doors, there was a regrettable culture of non-compliance. In fact, all three exterior doors to the building were unlocked that day and multiple interior doors were not secured the day of the shooting.”
The document lays into how Ramos went from an 18-year-old plagued by mental health issues to a mass murderer, without ever naming him or showing his face. “He wanted that,” Burrows explained, “and he did not deserve it.”
