Uvalde, Texas School Shooting

Mayor Don McLaughlin also says the city will be conducting its own internal investigation regarding Uvalde PD's actions, policies and procedures.

Gov. Greg Abbott at an event about fentanyl was asked a lot of questions about the leak of hallway video from the Uvalde school shooting. He stopped short of making any comments about the way the video was released. But other elected officials are still explaining why they wanted to wait for the video to come out.

Surveillance footage captured the gunman in the Uvalde school shooting enter the building with a AR-15 style rifle and later shows officers in body armor milling in the hallway outside the fourth-grade classrooms where 19 children and two teachers were killed.

This news comes after a battle between the city’s mayor and Texas Department of Public Safety over whether the footage should be released.

Texas DPS says that Uvalde County DA Christina Mitchell-Busbee has objected to the release of a 77-minute video of the hallway outside the Robb Elementary School classroom prior to the breach.

Also according to the report, officers spent 13 minutes in the school hallway during the shooting discussing tactical options, whether to use snipers and how to get into the classroom windows -- all while the door was unlocked.

Uvalde’s mayor said city officials could be prosecuted for releasing details of the investigation. Pete Arredondo, the City Council member and school district police chief, was absent for the second straight meeting.

Last week, participating locations donated 10 percent of their lunchtime sales to two organizations helping the Uvalde community.

A Uvalde mother who was handcuffed as she tried to run by police outside Robb Elementary School, but eventually got free and rescued her kids, is now being harassed by police after speaking out about the ordeal, her lawyer said this week.
