"Independent Investigator Clears Uvalde Police of Missteps in School Shooting Response"

An investigator's report revealed "many failures" by Uvalde police in responding to a school shooting that left 19 students and two teachers dead, with criticism from the Department of Justice for delayed action and misinformation to families. Tensions persist between city officials and the local prosecutor, and a criminal investigation into the law enforcement response remains open. The report also highlighted failings in delivering news to families and found that at least five officers involved have lost their jobs, but no criminal charges have been filed.
