The mayor of Uvalde announced that the city’s acting police chief on the day of Robb Elementary School massacre has been placed on leave after a new report found wide failures by law enforcement.

UVALDE, Texas — The mayor of Uvalde announced Sunday that the city’s acting police chief on the day of Robb Elementary School massacre has been placed on leave after a new report found wide failures by law enforcement.

— The commander of a Border Patrol tactical team waited for a bullet-proof shield and working master key for the classroom, which may have not even been needed, before entering the classroom.— A Uvalde Police Department officer said he heard about 911 calls that had come inside from the classroom, and that his understanding was the officers on one side of the building knew there were victims trapped inside. Still, no one tried to breach the classroom.

“Other than the attacker, the Committee did not find any ‘villains’ in the course of its investigation,” the report said. “There is no one to whom we can attribute malice or ill motives. Instead, we found systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making.” The report followed weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene of the shooting.Flowers that had been piled high in the city’s central square had been removed as of Sunday, leaving a few stuffed animals scattered around the fountains alongside photos of some of the children who were killed.

Uvalde report: 400 officers but ‘egregiously poor’ decisionsUVALDE, Texas (AP) — Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to a mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school, but “egregiously poor decision-making” resulted in more than an hour of chaos before the gunman who took 21 lives was finally confronted and killed, according to a damning investigative report released Sunday. Not only would I never send my kids to college in Texas, I won’t allow them to drive though Texas on the way to college You see that’s the problem we have to many ‘actors’ in positions they clearly don’t comprehend. Maybe hire real people to do the work and stop hiring ‘actors’. Where was the actual police chief anyways. 😑. Fire everybody! Has anyone asked the 400 police officers present at what time did they all realize the shooter wasn't an illegal?
