DPS is investigating its own actions on the day of the Robb Elementary mass shooting, and has identified five officers who will face further review for their actions.
The Department of Public Safety’s investigation into its own actions on the day of the Robb Elementary mass shooting last May has identified five officers who will face further review for their actions.
That that didn’t happen was called a “void of leadership” in a House committee report that reviewed the shooting. DPS Director Steve McCraw, in public testimony before the Senate Committee to Protect Texas, called the law enforcement response to the active shooter attack at Robb Elementary “an abject failure.”
The Robb mass shooting began at 11:33 a.m. The first DPS officer to arrive — a special agent — is noted in the surveillance video at 11:53 a.m. Eventually, 91 DPS officers would be at the scene of the shooting. Arredondo, questioned by a special House committee that reviewed the Robb mass shooting, said he opened a door to the classroom next to the shooter’s location, saw no one in the room and assumed the suspect must be “cornered.”
Arredondo’s choice — to try to negotiate with the shooter — used up a total 77 minutes. Sen. Roland Gutierrez, D-San Antonio, and others have speculated that additional lives were lost in that time.
