on Wednesday, shows several state troopers, including Maldonado, at Robb Elementary. Several clips show officers discussing the children who were shot in the classrooms and the need to engage the shooter, but not taking action over concerns for their safety.
McCraw faced searing criticism for the misleading, and at times false, information released by agency officials in the aftermath of the shooting and for the lack of transparency in the investigation from several relatives of Uvalde victims, who along with state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, D-San Antonio, addressed the commission and McCraw directly Thursday.
“DPS failed on May 24. It failed to take control of a dangerous situation. It failed to neutralize an ongoing threat. It failed in the aftermath of the shooting by not following normal triage protocols with the injured. It failed in the days following the massacre by giving false information that was easily provably false.
McCraw apologized for issuing false information in the aftermath of the shooting, including telling the media that a teacher had propped open a door allowing the shooter to enter the school — a statement that turned out to be incorrect. McCraw also repeated that the law enforcement response was an “abject failure,” and that every responding officer is being evaluated.
