Not all officer video from Uvalde school shooting released

Uvalde, Texas – An internal investigation has been launched by local police after it was revealed that not all officer video footage from the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting was provided to news organizations, despite a court order. The announcement came following the release of a significant collection of audio and video recordings that captured the hesitant police response during the tragic incident, which resulted in the deaths of 19 children and two teachers. The footage was made public after a lengthy legal battle with The Associated Press and other media outlets. The Uvalde Police Department discovered additional videos after an officer noted that part of his body camera footage was missing from the initial release. The unreleased material has since been submitted to Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell for review. The investigation aims to determine how this oversight occurred and whether any disciplinary actions are warranted against those responsible. The 2022 shooting has been widely criticized for the delayed response from law enforcement, with nearly 400 officers waiting over 70 minutes before confronting the gunman. Families of the victims have been vocal in their demand for accountability regarding the police's slow reaction during the crisis. As terrified students and teachers made desperate 911 calls from inside the classrooms, officers remained in the hallway, leading to frustration among parents who urged them to act. The incident remains one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, and the community continues to seek answers and justice for the victims.
