Uvalde police and school district ‘STOPPED cooperating with Texas probe into the Robb Elementary School massacre’
- Texas’ department of public safety is investigating the local police response to last week’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde
- The DPS officials have been critical of the local police, in particular Pete Arredondo, the chief of the school district police
- On Tuesday ABC News reported that local authorities in Uvalde have stopped cooperating with the Texas DPS investigators
- Neither the DPS nor the local forces in Uvalde have commented about the report
Uvalde’s police department and school district police force have both stopped cooperating with investigators from the Texas department of public safety (DPS), it has been reported.
The investigators are trying to determine the facts surrounding last week’s murder of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, amid widespread anger at a confusing and contradictory explanation of what happened. In particular, people have questioned why it took so long to end 18-year-old Salvador Ramos’s rampage.
The Texas force opened an investigation as a matter of routine. In addition, on Sunday the federal Department of Justice announced they too were launching an inquiry.
It was unclear whether Uvalde police were still cooperating with the federal inquiry.
Multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News that the Uvalde forces had stopped assisting the state investigation.
Neither Uvalde police, school district police, nor Texas DPS have confirmed ABC’s report.
