Uvalde mayor accuses Texas law enforcement director of lying, leaking and misleading to avoid blame in shooting investigation
CNN
Texas Department of Public Safety broke weeks of silence Tuesday and released its latest timeline of the Uvalde school shooting, blaming the flawed police response on the school district's police chief.
But just hours later, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin slammed the DPS's lack of transparency and accused its director, Col. Steven McCraw, of intentionally minimizing his agency's mistakes.
"Col. McCraw has continued to -- whether you want to call it -- lie, leak, mislead or misstate information in order to distance his own troopers and Rangers from the response. Every briefing he leaves out the number of his own officers and Rangers that were on-scene that day," McLaughlin told residents at a city council meeting Tuesday.
