Aurora’s retired police chief Kristen Ziman is one of nine people selected to review law enforcement’s response to the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, recently that killed 21 people.
Ziman helped prepare a similar after-action report for Aurora’s own mass shooting on Feb. 15, 2019, at Henry Pratt Co. that killed five employees and wounded five police officers and an employee.The reports are used by federal emergency management experts to take away lessons learned and to try and prevent future attacks, officials said.
“Nothing can undo the pain that has been inflicted on the loved ones of the victims, the survivors, and the entire community of Uvalde,” said U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in a statement. “But the Justice Department can and will use its expertise and independence to assess what happened and to provide guidance moving forward.”
Ziman responded to a tweet Wednesday from a man whose son was killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
