Family members of the 21 killed had hoped the investigation would lead to terminations for officers involved in the botched shooting response.
Some 370 law enforcement personnel from 23 different agencies responded to the shooting, but waited more than an hour to confront and kill the gunman.
Family members of the 19 kids and two teachers killed in the shooting had hoped the Uvalde investigation could lead to the termination of responding officers. “How are we going to be able to trust your department if they did nothing to protect these children?” she asked. “At times, they were difficult to control, they were wanting to break through police barriers,” Prado said. He added police had to make sure nobody else in the crowd would be injured.
Felicia Martinez, who lost his son Xavier in the shooting, pushed back against Prado’s assertions that parents outside the school made it difficult to secure the scene.
