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

The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Independent School District police pressure are not cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Security's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary College and the state's assessment of the legislation enforcement response, a number of law enforcement sources inform ABC Information.

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

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

Reached by ABC Information, a spokesperson for the Texas Division of Public Safety mentioned, "The Uvalde Police Department and Uvalde CISD Police have been cooperating with investigators. The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police offered an preliminary 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 faculty shootings in U.S. historical past, left 19 children and two adults lifeless.
