The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Unbiased College District police drive are now not cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Safety's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary College and the state's evaluate of the legislation enforcement response, multiple legislation enforcement sources tell ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent Faculty District did not instantly respond to requests for comment from ABC Information.

In keeping with sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information convention Friday during which he stated the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the flawed choice" and opposite to protocol.
