The Texas Department of Public Safety has announced it will investigate the actions of state police officers during the Uvalde primary school massacre, as law enforcement’s slow response continues to prompt widespread outrage and demands for accountability.
The agency says that the probe will determine if any violations of policy, law, or doctrine occurred during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School on May 24 that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
It says an internal committee would be charged with leading the investigation, which will also determine where the department can make necessary improvements for future mass casualty responses.
