Police say that not all officer video from the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting in 2022 was given to news organizations following a court order.
The department discovered “several additional videos” after a Uvalde officer said a portion of his body camera footage from the May 24, 2022, shooting was not included in material released over the weekend, police said Wednesday as they announced an internal investigation into why the material was not discovered until after a large trove of footage was released over the weekend.
The statement said an internal investigation will determine “how this oversight occurred," who was responsible and whether any disciplinary action is needed.The unreleased video was turned over to the office of Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell for review. “Anybody that was at fault, you’ve got to send a strong message that these mistakes are not tolerable,” Rizo said.
The delayed law enforcement response to the shooting has been widely condemned as a massive failure: Nearly 400 officers waited more than 70 minutes before confronting the gunman in a classroom filled with dead and wounded children and teachers. Families of the victims have long sought accountability for the slow police response in the South Texas city of about 15,000 people 80 miles west of San Antonio.
