Less than a week after a Texas House committee released an exhaustive report investigating the May 24 school shooting in Uvalde, state officials published a copy in Spanish.

on Friday saying the committee worked as fast as possible to publish the report, which was completed only minutes before the printing deadline.The committee intended to publish the report in both languages, Moody said, but was unable to get it translated before a planned meeting last Sunday when the English version was released.

“We reached out to Uvalde authorities to find out what the Uvalde families wanted — did they prefer we delay the release until both versions were available?,” Moody said. “The resounding answer was that they wanted what we had as quickly as possible and didn’t mind the Spanish translation coming later if they got answers sooner. We honored that request.”

The Spanish-language version of the report released this week was translated by certified professional translators — who reduced their normal timeframe for this kind of translation — and was “approved by the committee as an accurate representation of our original report,” Moody said. The other committee members include Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Lubbock Republican who serves as chair, and former state Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman.The committee’s report on the deadliest school shooting in Texas history found “systemic failures and egregious poor decision making” by nearly everyone involved who was in a position of power.

Nearly 400 law enforcement officers descended upon the school in a chaotic, uncoordinated scene that lasted for more than an hour. The group was devoid of clear leadership, basic communications and sufficient urgency to take down the gunman, the report says.

Thank you v v much for your sustained coverage TxTrib! This lede bit curled my hair: “…unable to get it translated before a planned meeting last Sunday”. Anybody consider asking (just a thought) one of hundreds of thousands of local Spanish speakers?!!! 🤷 NeverForgetUvalde C'est mesquin de publier quoi que ce soit sur une fusillade de masse, quotidienne aux États-Unis, faite plutôt un rapport sur: pourquoi laisser les commandes à des egos stupides et violents qui se baladent avec des flingues et dictent leur loi pour contrôler la vie des autres.
