Families of the victims in a mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school called for the resignation of state Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director Steve McCraw during a public meeting in Austin on Oct. 27.

Citing the “abject failure” of the department’s response to the school massacre on May 24 and the ensuing confusion caused by McCraw’s “misinformation after misinformation” during press conferences, Jesus Rizo told McCraw he needs to resign.
