FORT WORTH, Texas — A Texas House committee on Thursday will hold an investigative hearing to learn more about the mass shooting at an Uvalde elementary school where two teachers and 19 students were killed.
The committee, made up of two lawmakers and former Texas Supreme Court Justice and former attorney general candidate Eva Guzman, will meet in executive session, outside of the public, to examine witnesses due to the “quasi-judicial nature” of the committee’s work.
The committee will interview members of the Texas Department of Public Safety and review physical evidence, Chair Dustin Burrows, a Lubbock Republican, said in a Wednesday statement. He did not elaborate.
