Former Uvalde school district police chief charged with child
endangerment after shooting that killed 21
...
...
Early this year, the Justice Department released a 600-page report
that said poor coordination, training and execution of "active
shooter" protocols led to a "failure" in the response of the Uvalde
officers who rushed to the shooting at Robb Elementary School on May
24, 2022.
Instead of continuing to engage the 18-year-old gunman -- who was
locked in a classroom with 33 students and three teachers -- officers
retreated after an initial burst of gunfire and did not "push forward immediately and continuously to eliminate the threat," the Justice
Department said.
The officers had been taught erroneously that a situation involving an
active shooter -- an armed peron whom federal authorities define as
"actively" killing or trying to kill others -- "can easily morph into
a hostage crisis," the report says.
