Uvalde, Texas, school district officials announced Monday that they have hired two new school district police officers.
Crosses set up to honor those who lost their lives during the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Nov. 8, 2022., school district officials announced Monday that they have hired two new school district police officers, marking the first move to rebuild the district's police force -- five months after the entire force was suspended amid scrutiny over the police response to the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School.
Nineteen students and two of their teachers were killed on May 24 at Robb Elementary School. The police response that day is the subject of a series of reviews and examinations and has been widely criticized for being slow and ineffective. All police officers who responded that day are being investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety, which is leading the criminal probe into the shooting that ended when a federal tactical unit killed the shooter as they tried to take him into custody.
Patterson, reading from an overview of the report, said that it includes a thorough timeline of the events on May 24, an analysis of decisions made by police that day and tactical opinions of those choices. The investigative updates came during a meeting where several community members criticized the district for trying to hide critical information from the public.
