DALLAS — Two days after the first in a series of reports examining the law enforcement response to the Robb Elementary school shooting was released, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin has denied one of its most striking findings.
He also called for investigators to continue keeping evidence from the public, aligning himself with the stance taken by the local district attorney, who rejected the release of video footage from the school that a state law enforcement official said would offer the public clarity about the events of May 24.
The 26-page report released Wednesday by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University detailed three missed opportunities to slow — or even stop — the gunman before he entered the school, where he ultimately killed 19 students and two teachers in Texas’ deadliest school shooting.
