A federal report released Thursday revealed that U.S. Border Patrol agents who responded to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in May 2022, lacked proper command structure and training to effectively handle the situation. The report, conducted by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Professional Responsibility, highlighted the disorganized response at Robb Elementary School, where a teenage gunman armed with an AR-style rifle killed 19 students and two teachers.
The review pointed out that the failure to establish clear incident management or command protocols led to delays and potential further loss of life. The report also mentioned the confusion among arriving law enforcement personnel, with no clear command established at the scene, resulting in inaction and disorganization.
