Acting Uvalde police chief during mass shooting placed on leave in wake of new report

Uvalde's mayor announced Sunday that the acting city police chief on the day of the Robb Elementary School massacre has been placed on leave after a new report found "systemic failures" by authorities during the shooting.

What they're saying: "This administrative leave is to investigate whether Lt. [Mariano] Pargas was responsible for taking command on May 24th, what specific actions Lt. Pargas took to establish that command, and whether it was even feasible given all the agencies involved and other possible policy violations," Mayor Don McLaughlin said in a statement.
