Read our privacy policy Uvalde police responding to the Robb Elementary School mass shooting in 2022 showed "no urgency" and their tactical blunders cost lives, according to a damning new Department of Justice report. A DOJ report examining the shooting was released on Thursday, and found that a “cascading failures of leadership, decision-making, tactics, policy and training” by the Uvalde police may have cost innocent lives. “That did not occur.” The report reveals that the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District did not have a an active shooter policy, but did have an annex that appointed the district’s police chief as the incident commander in the event of a mass shooting. The report found that Uvalde’s acting police chief Mariano Pargas was the best suited to handle the incident, but ruled that even he lacked adequate training to respond to an active shooter, according to Fox28.
