"DOJ Uvalde Report: Grand Jury Examines School Massacre Response"

A grand jury in Uvalde, Texas, has begun to examine the response to the 2022 school massacre at Robb Elementary School, following a Justice Department report that highlighted "unimaginable" failures in the police response. The district attorney, Christina Mitchell, intends to present evidence to the grand jury, potentially leading to state criminal charges over the botched police response. Family members of the victims and survivors have long criticized the police's handling of the shooting, and the grand jury may determine if any officers broke the law by delaying their confrontation of the teenage gunman for 77 minutes.
