The review comes after a damning new 80-page report released over the weekend that stated there were more than 90 state troopers at Robb Elementary School during the May 24 tragedy.
UVALDE, Texas — The Texas Department of Public Safety announced Monday an internal review into the actions of state police who had dozens of troopers and agents on the scene during a slow and chaotic response to the Uvalde elementary school massacre.
The review comes as a damning new 80-page report released over the weekend by the Texas House revealed wide failures by all levels of law enforcement. The findings put more than 90 state troopers at Robb Elementary School during the May 24 tragedy. It is the first time Texas DPS has said it would examine the actions of its own officers in the two months since the deadliest school shooting in Texas history.
Texas DPS said in a statement the review would “determine if any violations of policy, law, or doctrine occurred" during the response to the attack that killed 19 children and two teachers in a fourth-grade classroom. It said the review was launched last week.
