The White House did not directly answer on May 26 whether it thinks there should be an investigation into the police response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Local police have been scrutinized amid reports that officers did not rush to stop the massacre at Robb Elementary School that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
