The report, commissioned by the city council, did little to calm the school shooting victims' families, who openly ripped the lead investigator and repeated calls for accountability.
ByAn investigation Uvalde city leaders ordered into the Robb Elementary shooting cleared local police officers of missteps.An investigation Uvalde city leaders ordered into the Robb Elementary School shooting put no blame on local police officers and defended their actions Thursday despite acknowledging a series of rippling failures during the fumbled response to the 2022 classroom attack that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
The city's report is just one of several probes into the massacre. Texas lawmakers found in 2022 that nearly 400 local, state, and federal officers rushed to the scene but waited more than an hour before confronting the gunman. A Department of Justice report in January criticized the "cascading failures" of responding law enforcement.
Prado returned and sat and listened when victims' families cried and criticized the report, the council, and the responding officers. Uvalde City Council member Hector Luevano said he was "embarrassed" and "insulted" by the city's report.
