Uvalde Families Sue Texas DPS Officers, Secure $2M Settlement with City

The lawsuit targets nearly 100 officers for their delayed response during the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.

Families of 19 victims filed a $500 million lawsuit against 91 Texas DPS officers and the local school district.
The city of Uvalde agreed to a $2 million settlement with the families and will implement police department reforms.
The lawsuit challenges qualified immunity, which protects officers from litigation over their actions on duty.
A Justice Department report highlighted 'cascading failures' in the police response to the shooting.
A grand jury is considering potential criminal charges against the responding officers.
