AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The head of Texas’ state police met again Monday with a committee investigating the Uvalde elementary school shooting as anger over why…
Nearly seven weeks after the deadliest school shooting in Texas history, a full account of the slow police response at Robb Elementary School remains incomplete and authorities at all levels have not released requests for public records, including for 911 recordings and body camera footage.
State police and an investigative committee formed by the Texas House say they want to release a 77-minute surveillance video of the hallway where police, armed with rifles and bulletproof shields, gathered during the shooting but waited more than an hour before breaching the classroom. But state police insist they can’t because they don’t have authorization from the district attorney in Uvalde County.
Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Busbee has not responded to requests for comment about the video. Witnesses Monday included Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco and Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, who has previously met with the committee and has publicly called the law enforcement response an “abject failure.”Article content
