Information indicates Crimson Elizondo was at the scene two minutes after the shooting started, but footage shows her without a tactical bulletproof vest or long rifle, out of step with her training.
Former Texas Department of Public Safety officer Crimson Elizondo resigned while being investigated for her response to the Uvalde school shooting massacre. Despite being one of those under investigation in the failed law enforcement response, she has now been hired to protect the city's school children.
Parents of children who were killed at Robb Elementary were the first to notice Elizondo on campus, recognizing her from body camera footage of the shooting.Daughter of hero Uvalde teacher: 'I know she didn't even hesitate' to shield students In a redacted internal memo to the organization's director obtained by CNN, DPS cited "actions which may be inconsistent with training and department requirements" as the reason for the referral.
Out of nearly 400 law enforcement officers who responded to the shooting, 91 were from Texas DPS. Seven of those officers were referred for further investigation for their conduct that day. Elizondo's hiring raises further question about DPS and the lack of transparency around the investigation and the conduct of its troopers.
