"DOJ Report Reveals Failures in Uvalde School Shooting Response"

The US Department of Justice released a report detailing "cascading failures" in the police response to the Uvalde school shooting, criticizing the haphazard and delayed actions that failed to stop the 2022 massacre. US Attorney General Merrick Garland expressed that lives could have been saved if law enforcement had followed standard active shooter practices. President Joe Biden called for policy changes, including universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons. The report adds to the public understanding of how police in Uvalde failed to stop the attack, and the community continues to grapple with the trauma and questions of accountability.
