"DOJ Report Reveals Failures in Law Enforcement Response to Uvalde School Shooting"
The Justice Department released a scathing report on the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, citing "cascading failures of leadership" and an "unprecedented" level of misinformation in the aftermath. The report described insufficient planning, major departures from active-shooter protocols, and a chaotic law enforcement response. Families received incorrect information about their loved ones, and the community's recovery was hindered by the misinformation. President Biden called for "commonsense" gun laws in response to the report, and the Uvalde County District Attorney's office continues an independent review for potential criminal charges.
