Uvalde Report Clears Police of Wrongdoing, Families Outraged

A new report exonerating Uvalde police in the 2022 school shooting faces backlash from victims' families and scrutiny from ongoing investigations.

A new report commissioned by Uvalde city leaders clears local police officers of wrongdoing in the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, sparking outrage among victims' families.
Despite the city report's findings, previous state and federal investigations have criticized the law enforcement response, highlighting failures in leadership, communication, and tactics.
Families of the victims and some city council members have publicly rejected the report's conclusions, demanding accountability and further investigation.
The Uvalde District Attorney's office continues its criminal investigation into the law enforcement response, with a grand jury already summoned and some officials asked to testify.
The U.S. Department of Justice's report in January identified critical failures in the response, stating that lives could have been saved if law enforcement had acted more decisively.
