In a highly anticipated move, the Justice Department is set to release its long-awaited report on the police response to the tragic mass shooting at Rob Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The incident, which occurred in May 2022, resulted in the devastating loss of 19 children and two teachers. The primary question on everyone's mind is why it took nearly 400 law enforcement officers a staggering 77 minutes to apprehend the shooter.
Accountability and justice are paramount in this case, as families and the community grapple with the pain and trauma caused by the horrific attack. To provide some solace and understanding, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta met with the affected families last night to preview the report’s findings.
