Five Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will be investigated over the mishandled response to a mass shooting in Uvalde, the state agency confirmed on Sept. 7.
Ninety-one DPS troopers rushed to Robb Elementary School on May 24, as the shooting took place. Officials at various agencies have described the response, which saw officers stand for over 75 minutes outside the room where the shooter was as more people were shot, as problematic. Steve McCraw, head of the DPS, told lawmakers over the summer it was an “abject failure.”
