has been accused by a Texas state senator of withholding details about Saturday's mass shooting at a mall.
"Ever since [the shooting in] Uvalde, we've seen mass shootings across this nation, and cops come out and they tell you who died, who the shooter was, they tell you what the motivation was, and they do it all within 24 hours. Hell, they do it all within a few hours," Gutierrez said during a press conference. He represents Uvalde, where 19 children and two teachers were shot to death at an elementary school last year.
On Saturday afternoon, a gunman opened fire at a crowded mall in Allen, a Dallas suburb, before a police officer killed him. Authorities have identified 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia as the shooter but have not named any of the victims, who include children. Reports say Garcia is suspected of espousing white supremacist ideology, but a motive has not yet been determined.
