Uvalde police, school district not cooperating with Texas probe of capturing: Sources

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Unbiased School District police drive are now not cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary College and the state's assessment of the law enforcement response, a number of law 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 remark from ABC Information.

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