"Judge Orders Release of Uvalde Shooting Response Documents"

A state district judge has ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to release public records related to the law enforcement response to the Uvalde school shooting, following a lawsuit by news organizations. The records pertain to the delayed police response during the shooting, in which officers waited over an hour to confront the shooter who killed 19 children and two teachers. The judge granted the motion for summary judgment and ordered DPS to produce a proposed log of redactions by August 31. The news organizations argue that there is no ongoing investigation and that the records should be made public.
