Law enforcement officials have recently released a comprehensive report on the law enforcement response to the mass shooting at Raab Elementary School that occurred on May 24th, 2022. The United States Department of Justice conducted a critical incident review at the request of the then-Mayor, aiming to assess the response and provide guidance for future incidents.
According to the report, the review concluded that there were significant failures in leadership, tactics, communications, training, and preparedness by law enforcement officials responding to the shooting. These failures resulted in 33 students and 3 teachers being trapped with an active shooter for over an hour while law enforcement officials remained outside.
