DPS Director Steve McCraw held another Uvalde briefing today. McCraw said the investigation is ongoing, and the goal is to turn over the results to the Uvalde DA at the end of the year.
The families of the children and teachers murdered at Robb Elementary last May have one more date — the end of the year — and few additional answers after another Uvalde briefing by Director Steve McCraw took place at the Department of Public Safety Commission meeting on Thursday.
McCraw said the investigation is ongoing, with a goal of turning over the results to the Uvalde DA at the end of the year “There were enough officers. There was enough equipment. There was enough knowledge, enough information to do what needed to be done immediately,” McCraw said, acknowledging it should have been resolved rather than waiting more than an hour for backups. “That’s the active shooter protocol. There’s no time for shields. There’s no time for weapons. There’s no time for strategies. There’s no time for evacuations, even.”“I can tell you this.
That wasn’t said by the school superintendent or the school district’s top cop, Gutierrez said. That wasn’t said by the Uvalde PD. That was said by DPS troopers who decided they wouldn’t open a window because “’I’m gonna get clapped,’” said Gutierrez, quoting the conversation.
