Officials now investigating police response to TX school shooting after 40+ minute inaction.
Officials are investigating the police response to the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday after information and videos revealed that police waited outside the school for more than 40 minutes before engaging the gunman.
The massacre left 21 people dead and another 17 injured.
Austin American-Statesman investigative journalist Tony Plohetski said on Thursday that authorities confirmed an investigation was underway “amid conflicting witness statements, including what steps they took to stop the gunman.”
He added that officials could no longer confirm their initial reports that a school officer “exchanged fire” with the gunman.
