“Nobody’s giving us any answers”: Uvalde families demand details of shooting investigation at City Council meeting

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told residents at a City Council meeting on Thursday that the city would not release more information about last month’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School at the request of the local district attorney and the Texas Department of Public Safety., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

“Nobody’s giving us any answers, it’s been over a month, you have no idea how frustrating that is. We’re sitting here, just listening to empty words,” said the sister of Irma Garcia, one of two teachers who was killed in the May 24 massacre along with 19 students. She didn’t identify herself by name when she addressed the City Council.

Some family members also demanded to know why Pete Arredondo, a City Council member and school district police chiefhave brought withering criticism, failed to show up to his second consecutive City Council meeting. According to the city charter, the City Council could vacate the seat if Arredondo misses a third consecutive meeting.

Their covering up for their cowardly lack of action.

They can, they just won’t. We will not forget.

We are watching a prime example of how many small Texas towns operate.

They can, but they won't.

Freedom of Information Act

It's time for the DOJ to get involved. They need to be sued until every single written record and every second of audio recording is completely public.

vankapro Must be much worse than what we already know. Wasn’t the FBI supposed to look into this?

Too bad your families lost loved ones. We're not talking. WTF?

Wow. The same guy who was whining that the DPS and FBI weren't sharing any info with him? That's pretty rich.

This entire mess is an abomination & completely void of any accountability. From the shooting itself, to the incompetence & coverup by LE, and all of the Texas government. I would say shame on them, but they are void of that too. Blood on a lot of hands here.

Why?

Isn't this the type of evil people the government should be looking to stop? Beto O’Rourke teenage murder fantasy writing is an alarming warning. Beto is absolutely unqualified for public office. Beto ORourke Texas Midterm Elections Election2022

I can tell them them answers. IT WAS POLITICAL!

This stinks Ulvalde is covering up the truth And the families are paying the price

Sounds like time for Uvalde to vote in some new leadership.

Texas corruption in full view.

I’m so saddened by their loss But WTF do they expect from the Republican Party of Texas? The Republicans have never and will never care about these people GregAbbott_TX is never going back there Republicans Don’t Care About You

They blew it period and because of the tainted views of the 3 Stooges, AbbottFailedTexasAgain Paxston Patrick law enforcement responded the way they did which was to not respond 😡

A child survivor of Robb Elementary told CBS news LEOs called out “does anyone in there need help?” When a child answered, the killer crossed the room and shot that child. DPS told TX Senate committee it was quiet before the room was breeched and the killer was hiding in a closet

A child survivor of Uvalde told CBS news LEOs called out “does anyone in there need help?” When a child answered, the killer crossed the room and shot that child. DPS head McCraw’s timeline marks two instances of a single shot fired, long before room finally breeched by BORTAC.

A child survivor of Uvalde told CBS news LEOs called out “does anyone in there need help?” And when a child answered, the killer crossed the classroom and shot that child. It HAS to have been recorded on bodycam audio. THIS is the sort of PUBLIC info DPS and Abbott are hiding.

This feels like it will never end. WHO CAN RESPOND TO THESE FAMILIES? Who will step up? Is there NO ONE?Uvalde_CISD UvaldeNews BetoORourke GregAbbott_TX
