The Department of Justice will launch an investigation into if and how local police failed to stop or slow the massacre at Robb Elementary School last week.
“At the request of Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, the U.S. Department of Justice will conduct a Critical Incident Review of the law enforcement response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas,” officials said Sunday.
Nineteen fourth-grade students and two teachers were fatally shot Tuesday inside their classroom as police waited outside.
