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

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Independent College District police force are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Security's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's assessment of the regulation enforcement response, a number of legislation enforcement sources tell ABC News.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased College District didn't instantly respond to requests for comment from ABC News.

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

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