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

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Unbiased School District police drive are now not cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's review of the law enforcement response, a number of law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent Faculty District did not immediately reply to requests for remark from ABC Information.

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

The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police supplied an initial interview however has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days in the past."
