Lawmakers in Texas on Sunday unveiled the first detailed investigative report into the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, laying out the lapses in preparation, training and judgment in connection with one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.
KVUE released a statement, saying, it and the Austin-Statesman elected to publish that footage"to provide transparency to the community, showing what happened as officials waited to enter that classroom."
Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, who expressed anger over the video being leaked and aired before the families first had a chance to review it. The leak of the video infuriated some of the victim's family members. Some saw it as the latest source of frustration with the investigation that has included inaccurate information from investigators and elected leaders, including an initial statement from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that the school's police immediately engaged the gunman before he got into the school. Abbott later said he was"misled" about the circumstances of the shooting.
"We've been asking the DA for this video for a while and she refused to let us see it," Nikki Cross, the aunt of 10-year-old Uziyah Garcia, who was killed in the rampage, told ABC News."So once again, the world got to see it before us. Just like the day of the shooting when Gov. Abbott announced to you all that our children are dead and we have no idea. It's like reliving that day all over again.
