"DOJ Report Reveals Failures in Uvalde School Shooting Response"

The Justice Department released a report highlighting numerous law enforcement failures in response to the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where nearly three dozen students and teachers were trapped with the gunman for over an hour. The report identified "cascading failures" in leadership, tactics, communications, training, and preparedness, ultimately concluding that the law enforcement response was a failure that should not have happened. President Biden announced plans to work with the DOJ and Department of Education to implement policy changes for a more effective response in the future, while also calling for congressional action on gun control measures.
