Uvalde Mayor Disputes Report That Said Police Had Early Chance to End Massacre
The report this week was drafted by the university’s Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training program. Authors of the 26-page report said they were contacted by DPS shortly after the shooting to assess the law enforcement response and that they had an approximately one-hour briefing led by an “investigating officer” who is not named.
One of the report’s most striking details was how a Uvalde police officer, armed with a rifle, watched the gunman walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot. The supervisor “either did not hear or responded too late,” according to the report. McLaughlin said no Uvalde officer had a chance to shoot the gunman before entering the school, and that while an officer did see someone outside, the officer could not tell who it was.Pete Blair, the executive director of the training center that published the report, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Friday.
A separate report on the shooting is being compiled by Texas legislators who have spent weeks interviewing more than 20 witnesses and first responders behind closed doors. On Monday, the committee is expected to hear for the first time from the Uvalde County sheriff after lawmakers sent him a letter this week trying to compel his testimony.
