Uvalde Releases Records from 2022 School Shooting

Uvalde city officials have released extensive records, including police video, audio, texts, and emails, related to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting. This disclosure, resulting from a lawsuit filed by nearly two dozen media outlets, sheds new light on the tragic incident where 19 students and two teachers were killed. Key revelations include law enforcement's reliance on a parent to use bolt cutters, the shooter's suicidal thoughts expressed the night before, and a 911 call from the shooter's uncle pleading to speak to him. The documents reaffirm the widespread criticism of the delayed police response, with officers waiting over an hour before confronting the gunman. The release aims to provide transparency and accountability, ensuring victims' families understand the actions taken by law enforcement on that day. Despite this release, the Texas Department of Public Safety continues to face lawsuits from news organizations for additional records and footage from the incident.
