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

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Impartial College District police pressure are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Security's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's assessment of the law enforcement response, a number of law enforcement sources tell ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent Faculty District didn't immediately reply to requests for remark from ABC News.

According to sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred quickly after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information convention Friday during which he stated the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the improper choice" and contrary to protocol.

The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police offered an initial interview however has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days in the past."
