The U.S. Department of Justice announced it will review the law enforcement response to the Uvalde school massacre after reports that police waited for backup and equipment once the gunman entered the school.

Law enforcement officers outside Robb Elementary School during a shooting Tuesday that left 21 people dead. Federal officials are reviewing heavily criticized law enforcement to the incident., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

“The goal of the review is to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day, and to identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare for and respond to active shooter events,” Anthony Coley, a spokesperson for the U.S. Justice Department, wrote in a statement Sunday.

“From the benefit of hindsight, where I’m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision,” McCraw said. “It was the wrong decision, period. There's no excuse for that.”

Who will investigate? The FBI field office in Austin? The same agency that can’t complete an investigation of Attorney General Ken Paxton? What a joke!

Never should have been elected. The r*pe of the electorate. Look at this obscene gerrymander. 100% Illegitimate. This is BS. RepDanCrenshaw HoustonChron GHPartnership HOUBizJournal txbiz txlege

Given the red wave sure to be elected in November, the only investigation that will be finished is one into who propped open the door.

Thank God, the Justice Department is here to save the day!!!

It wasn’t la enforcement. It wasn’t Border patrol. It was a lone, off duty BP agent, with a button up shirt and a borrowed shotgun that saved those kids.

Justice Dept. to review response to Texas school shootingThe Justice Department says it will review the law enforcement response to the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 students and two teachers dead. Will this investigation push our representatives to make changes or are we only looking for who to blame? Seems like a waste of money because everybody is to blame for not looking out for our children! You know this is gonna end well, 'Police will police the police'.

Justice Department to investigate police response to Uvalde school shootingThe Justice Department will conduct a review of the law enforcement response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas earlier this week and make findings public. Don't forget the retired Federal agent in discord group Great. The same people who 'investigated' Ruby Ridge and Waco. The findings are predictable. Why even bother? Maybe they’ll figure out that $40B would provide armed officers in 533,333 schools. Interesting that we send that message net to Ukraine for weapons.

Justice Dept. to Review Response to Texas School ShootingThe Justice Department says it will review the law enforcement response to the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 students and two teachers dead. People not willing to do their jobs should resign Anything anyone does now will be too little and too late for those innocent martyrs. We need to guard the priceless resource of children at least as much as we protect money. AFTER they finish the January 6th investigation of course. Either that or we have the world's single largest grouping of high level ADD adults who can't follow a sentence through to a period. Send them trucks of Adderall if necessary.
