Uvalde police, faculty district now not cooperating with Texas probe of capturing: Sources

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Unbiased School District police power are not cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary College and the state's overview of the legislation enforcement response, multiple regulation enforcement sources tell ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Impartial Faculty District didn't immediately reply to requests for remark from ABC News.

In accordance with sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information conference Friday during which he mentioned the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the wrong choice" and contrary to protocol.

Regulation enforcement is seen outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Could 24, 2022, in a picture taken from a video made by a bystander.

Reached by ABC Information, a spokesperson for the Texas Division of Public Security stated, "The Uvalde Police Department and Uvalde CISD Police have been cooperating with investigators. The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police offered an initial interview but has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days in the past."

Last Tuesday's assault, one of many worst school shootings in U.S. historical past, left 19 youngsters and two adults dead.
