Uvalde investigation details law enforcement’s ‘systemic failures’ in school shooting response
Fox News
Texas state lawmakers detailed in a 77-page report that the response to the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde involved “systemic failures” and “poor decision making.”
A force of 376 law enforcement officers responded to the shooting, according to the report. However, the report found there was no clear leadership once they amassed at the scene, and responders lacked basic communications and sufficient urgency to take down the gunman.
The investigation criticized the inaction of state and federal law enforcement, who made up the majority of responding officers. The report states there were 91 state police offers, 149 from U.S. Border Patrol, 25 Uvalde city police officers, 16 sheriff’s deputies and 5 officers from the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police.
