Uvalde police, school district now not cooperating with Texas probe of capturing: Sources

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Impartial School District police force are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Security's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's overview of the law enforcement response, a number of law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased School District didn't instantly reply to requests for comment from ABC Information.

According to sources, the choice to cease cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a news conference Friday during which he mentioned the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the fallacious choice" and contrary to protocol.
