Uvalde police, school district not cooperating with Texas probe of shooting: Sources

The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Independent College District police pressure are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Security's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's overview of the legislation enforcement response, a number of regulation enforcement sources inform ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased Faculty District didn't instantly respond to requests for remark from ABC Information.

Based on sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a news convention Friday during which he said the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the mistaken choice" and opposite to protocol.

Reached by ABC News, 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 provided 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 attack, one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history, left 19 kids and two adults lifeless.
