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

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Independent Faculty District police force are now not cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's assessment of the regulation enforcement response, multiple law enforcement sources inform ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent School District didn't immediately respond to requests for remark from ABC Information.

In line with sources, the choice to cease cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information convention Friday during which he stated the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the fallacious decision" and opposite to protocol.

Reached by ABC Information, a spokesperson for the Texas Division of Public Safety said, "The Uvalde Police Department and Uvalde CISD Police have been cooperating with investigators. The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police supplied 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."

Last Tuesday's assault, one of the worst college shootings in U.S. history, left 19 kids and two adults dead.
