Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan announced Friday he's forming a panel to investigate the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
“The fact we still do not have an accurate picture of what exactly happened in Uvalde is an outrage,” Phelan said in a news release. “Every day, we receive new information that conflicts with previous reports, making it not only difficult for authorities to figure out next steps, but for the grieving families of the victims to receive closure,” Phelan said Friday.
All of them are attorneys, and “possess decades of experience in civil and criminal litigation matters – skill sets I believe make them best equipped to meet the objectives of this committee and its investigation,” Phelan said.
