Read our privacy policy The officer commanding the immediate police response to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting was not receiving key information about 911 calls coming from inside Robb Elementary School, according to a state senator. The Democratic senator called the communications mishap a sign of “system failure.” He said he was told by state officials that the 911 calls coming from inside the school went to the city’s police department, who then could have shared them with any one of 17 different contacts. “In retrospect, from where I’m sitting right now, clearly there were kids in the room.Clearly they’re at risk.” Texas governor Greg Abbott initially praised the law enforcement response to the shooting, before later saying he was “misled” about what happened on the ground. “The families whose lives have been destroyed need answers.Law enforcement is going to earn the trust of the public by making sure they thoroughly and exhaustively investigate exactly what happened.” State and federal officials are now probing the police response to the incident, the second worst school shooting in US history.
