Bill Hutchinson and Ali Dukakis, ABC NewsUVALDE, Texas — The loved ones of those killed in a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, are reacting with anger and disappointment Sunday after a committee of state lawmakers investigating the massacre released a 77-page report that said law enforcement officers who responded to the rampage"failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety.
Salazar said he wasn't going to attend the meeting with the committee at Uvalde Junior College and was only there to pick up a copy of the report to take home and read through it thoroughly. "In certain schools, they have police, sheriffs in the front. Why don't they protect our kids like they protect money in a vault at a bank?" Garcia said."Our kids are more valuable than that money. This is not the first time a school has been shot up and kids have lost their lives. This need to be the last time this happens. It shouldn't happen anymore. Nobody should ever go through this.
The official release of the video comes after footage from inside the school as the attack was unfolding was leaked and obtained by Austin ABC affiliate KVUE and the Austin American-Statesman newspaper. Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, who expressed anger over the video being leaked and aired before the families first had a chance to review it.
"They weren't supposed to do it without our consent," Javier Cazares, whose 9-year-old daughter, Jackie, was killed in the attack, told ABC News after the video was leaked.
