Uvalde police, school district no longer cooperating with Texas probe of shooting: Sources

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

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

In accordance with sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred quickly after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information conference Friday throughout which he said the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the unsuitable choice" and contrary to protocol.
