Mayor Don McLaughlin also says the city will be conducting its own internal investigation regarding Uvalde PD's actions, policies and procedures.

Uvalde officer who drew outrage for checking phone was waiting to hear from his dying wife during shooting

"We are currently waiting on DPS to release UPD officers’ official statements, taken immediately after the incident, as these are critical to our own internal investigation," says Mayor McLaughlin. "The City has selected Jesse Prado, an expert in the field, to conduct the internal investigation. As soon as DPS releases the reports we have requested, Mr. Prado will begin his review and assessment. That will also include a specific review of Lt.

The city will also be releasing all body cameras from Uvalde police officers taken during the incident. "We held off on releasing these videos at the District Attorney, Christina Mitchell’s, direction. However, with the release of the school district’s hallway video, we believe these body camera videos provide further, necessary context," McLaughlin said.

You forgot to report the Mayor told the press he doesn’t want this job cos it only pays $50/month… 🤷‍♂️

McLaughlin should be one of those investigated. Where did the $$ for police training go? Who hired these cops? Why is the chief still working for pay? Why is ANYONE in Uvalde voting for these creeps?

What we learned from the Uvalde shooting video, and what remains unknownThe video of law enforcement response to the Robb Elementary School shooting sheds no light on why officers waited so long to confront the gunman, nor does it reveal who was responsible for the delay. In fact, the video raises more questions than answers. Fake News... but total disgrace. We learned that these officers were not there to protect the children. Didn’t even try. fail I was disappointed that “respecting” those who are grieving did not prevent ads being shown during the airing of the 77 minutes. WTF!

Families of Uvalde victims set to meet with committee investigating school shootingThe families of those killed in a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, are expected to meet in private Sunday with state lawmakers investigating the school massacre.\n\n Good luck, the Texas state legislature created the “guns everywhere” insanity. Pointless and too late. The system failed these parents and the children paid with their lives. They knew what needed to be done at least since Sandy Hook and chose to sit on their thumbs. Everything they've done since Uvalde showed they will not do anything. Vote them out. Feds working over time to let a national tragedy happen
