Law enforcement officers from several agencies waited more than an hour, while some children called for help, before eventually storming the classroom and killing the shooter.
Her investigator Shayne Gilland's presence "taints her entire inquiry into any possible criminal conduct by law enforcement," Mclaughlin said in the statement, in which he also called for Mitchell's resignation.
The city sued Mitchell to obtain the information, McLaughlin said.
