UVALDE, Texas — When a gunman attacked an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, only 20% of the deputies in the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office had received training on how to handle an active-shooter situation, according to the findings of an after-action review announced Monday.
Carter said one of his key recommendations is that all personnel in the sheriff’s department be trained on how to handle active-shooter incidents -- something that was only added to the department’s policy manual four months after 19 students and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School. “I would anticipate that in the next session of legislature -- I would be disappointed and shocked -- if there was not legislation that made it a requirement, a mandatory course that all Texas police officers be required to take an active shooter response course,” said Carter.
“It is beyond comprehension,” Rizo said. “It solely focuses on policy and procedure. The families come up here to want answers. What they want to know is the detailed information.”
