The Uvalde City Council announced Tuesday that it would investigate every city police officer who responded to the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School.
The council has appointed former Austin, Texas, police detective Jesse Prado as the lead investigator. Prado will be tasked with individually interviewing 25 officers from the city's 39-member police force as part of the investigation, according to the city council.
King added that the city"will act" on the results of the investigation and that"everybody that's Uvalde PD that was there will be held accountable for their actions."A Texas House investigation found that police officers waited 77 minutes after the first shots were fired by the gunman before entering the classroom and killing him. The report also noted communication failures between police officers and law enforcement agencies.
The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District has also placed its chief of police, Pete Arredondo, on administrative leave and suspended Robb Elementary School Principal Mandy Gutierrez with pay after the state's investigation found she was aware of and never fixed a malfunctioning lock on a door to the classroom the gunman entered.
