Uvalde police, college district now not cooperating with Texas probe of taking pictures: Sources

The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Impartial Faculty District police force are now not cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary School and the state's evaluation of the law enforcement response, a number of regulation enforcement sources inform ABC News.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent College District didn't immediately reply to requests for comment from ABC News.

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

Reached by ABC News, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety said, "The Uvalde Police Department and Uvalde CISD Police have been cooperating with investigators. The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police offered an initial interview but has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days ago."

Final Tuesday's attack, one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history, left 19 kids and two adults useless.
