The 2022 deadly mass shooting at a school in Uvalde, Texas, could have been stopped sooner, according to a new Department of Justice (DOJ) report describing the law enforcement response as a “failure.”
A DOJ report, the most comprehensive federal accounting of the maligned police response to the May 24, 2022, shooting at Robb Elementary School, catalogs a sweeping array of training, communication, leadership, and technology problems that federal officials say contributed to the crisis lasting far longer than necessary. All the while, according to the report, terrified students inside the classrooms called 911 and agonized parents begged officers to go in.
