The loved ones of those killed in a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, are expected to meet in private with a committee of state lawmakers investigating the massacre.
Following the meeting, committee members are expected to hold a news conference and make the video public along with its report on the shooting.
The leak of the video infuriated some of the victim's family members. Some saw it as a latest source of frustration with the investigation that has included inaccurate information from investigators and elected leaders, including an initial statement from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that the school's police immediately engaged the gunman before he got into the school. Abbott later said he was "misled" about the circumstances of the shooting.
Several of the families were meeting with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, when the video was released. Despite the family members and some elected leaders, including Abbott, repeatedly calling for the video's release, the local district attorney denied the requests.
