Read our privacy policy The mayor of Uvalde has branded the media “chicken” for releasing footage of the mass shooting at an elementary school in which 19 students and two teachers were massacred. The way that video was released today was one of the most chicken things I’ve ever seen,” Mr McLaughlin told a city council meeting on Tuesday. Another city council member, Ernest King, also slammed the media who released it as “chickens***.” The decision to make the footage public has also been attacked by the families of victims who had not been able to view it first. Are they chickens***?” Mr King replied that the council would “handle that.” The previously unseen 77-minute video shows events leading up to the gunman entering the school at around 11.33am, moments after crashing his truck outside.
