Uvalde police, school district no longer cooperating with Texas probe of taking pictures: Sources

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Impartial Faculty District police power are not cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's assessment of the legislation enforcement response, multiple regulation enforcement sources inform ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent College District didn't instantly reply to requests for comment from ABC News.

In response to sources, the decision to cease cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a news convention Friday throughout which he said the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the mistaken resolution" and opposite to protocol.

Reached by ABC News, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety said, "The Uvalde Police Division and Uvalde CISD Police have been cooperating with investigators. The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police offered an preliminary interview but has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days ago."

Last Tuesday's attack, one of many worst school shootings in U.S. historical past, left 19 children and two adults lifeless.
