Months after a U.S. Justice Department report found 'cascading failures' in law enforcement's response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, an internal report commissioned by Uvalde City Council cleared the city's police officers of wrongdoing.
Relatives of children who died in the massacre dismissed the report as 'bullshit' and 'a joke' after it was presented on Thursday.
The report generated outrage among Uvalde residents attending Thursday's council meeting, including Kimberley Mata-Rubio, whose daughter, Lexi, died in the shooting. Prado left after presenting his findings and before the public-comment session of the meeting, drawing chants of"Bring him back!" according to the Texas Tribune. A person in the crowd also shouted,"Coward."
