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

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Independent Faculty District police force are not cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Security's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's assessment of the legislation enforcement response, multiple legislation enforcement sources inform ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased College District didn't instantly respond to requests for remark from ABC News.

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

Reached by ABC News, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety said, "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 ago."

Last Tuesday's assault, one of many worst faculty shootings in U.S. history, left 19 kids and two adults dead.
