Texas lawmakers question officials involved in Uvalde shooting

Texas lawmakers have interviewed around 40 officials and people involved in the response to the Robb Elementary School shooting.

They're once again interviewing the head of Texas' Department of Public Safety and speaking with Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco for his account of May 24, when a gunman killed 19 school children and two teachers.

That report was commissioned by the Texas DPS, which led both Uvalde's mayor and state senator, who represent the small city, to dispute the conclusions and dismiss them as part of an overall cover-up of inaction by state law enforcement. In Uvalde, Texas, angry parents and residents protesting against gun violence called for more transparency into investigating what went wrong. The feelings were echoed Monday by Uvalde pediatrician Roy Guerrero, who led a ceremony at the White House heralding the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
