UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Families of the children and teachers killed in the Uvalde, Texas, school massacre are renewing demands for criminal charges after a scathing Justice Department report again laid bare numerous failures by police during one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.
The Justice Department report says the FBI has assisted the Rangers but is not doing its own investigation.
But she pushed back that timeline in December and said Thursday that she will need time to review the voluminous Justice Department report.
Produced by a Justice Department office that supports local police, the document is among the most comprehensive accountings to date of what went wrong.
The Department of Justice report faults state and local officials with undercutting the public's trust in law enforcement by repeatedly releasing false and misleading information about the police response.
