"DOJ Meets Uvalde Victims' Families Before Releasing Massacre Response Report"
US Attorney General Merrick Garland met with families of Uvalde school massacre victims ahead of the Department of Justice's release of a report on law enforcement's response to the tragedy. The families were briefed on some findings, with grief counselors present, but some expressed disappointment at not hearing anything new. The DOJ aims to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses, identify lessons learned, and offer a roadmap for community safety. The community is still grappling with the 77-minute delay in stopping the gunman and hopes the report will validate their concerns.
