A new report has condemned almost 400 officers who responded to the Texas school shooting after they 'failed to prioritise victims' safety over their own'

The findings are the most complete account yet of the May 24 massacre in South Texas and the hesitant and haphazard response by heavily armed law enforcement as a gunman fired inside a fourth-grade classroom.

"There is no-one to whom we can attribute malice or ill motives. Instead, we found systemic failures and egregiously poor decision-making." "It's a joke. They're a joke.

But “systemic failures” created a chaotic scene that lasted more than an hour before the gunman was finally confronted and killed. It is the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in Uvalde, Texas, for the bewildering inaction at Robb Elementary School. The report was written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives and released to family members Sunday.
