Robb Elementary School News

The move comes weeks after selecting new leader for its police force, which is struggling to regain public trust after Robb Elementary massacre.

The city of Uvalde — which is still struggling to regain public trust in its police department nearly two years after the Robb Elementary School shooting — said Monday it has hired an assistant chief from outside the organization. The announcement came less than a month after a new police chief, Homer Delgado , took control of the department. The city said in a news release that it had tapped Michael “Mike” Davis for the No.

Two Uvalde officers were wounded by shrapnel fired by the gunmen, forcing police to hunker down and wait for help. They lacked both rifle-rated vests and shields that could have protected them from the powerful rifle. The standoff ended 77 minutes after the first 911 call, with a Border Patrol tactical unit and others storming the classroom and killing the shooter.
