We are standing with your valdi in the
wake of that scathing new report on the
tactical response of the shooting at Rob
Elementary. The report by training center
at Texas State University concluded some
lives could have been
saved had the response been
better. Authors of the 26 page
report said their findings were
based off video taken from the
school police body cameras testimony
from officers on the scene and
statements from investigators.
Among their findings,
one of the officers could have.
Easily killed the shooter before
he ever got inside the building.
Families of some of the victims
expressed their disgust and
outrage to CNN's Shimon Percussa.
Just because of all the lies,
the deceitfulness from the beginning.
It was just like putting
salt on an open wound.
It's just really hard because.
There's just so much suffering and it's
hard to grieve when there's no closure.
When you say there's no closure.
What are you looking for?
Come on people to be held accountable.
We know that the shooter is dead.
There is no one taking accountability.
No one.
I'm here, you're your daughter, right?
Yes, Sir. When you. Hear about some
of the new information that's now.
Come out. What are you thinking?
They're pointing their fingers,
you know they did.
They didn't do that, I mean.
Not being in charge of being
whoever was there should have done
their job and and they didn't.
You know whether it was
cowardice or or not wanting.
They didn't follow the orders.
I mean I don't know but.
On and on they should have gone in
and stopped in their training dollars
or trained to stop active shooter.
That's the first thing
they're supposed to do,
and it's aggravating they didn't do that.
Do you think the officers
were cowards? I mean, I can't
see all of them, but the
ones that were in there.
Obviously they weren't because
they didn't do their job.
I can't even imagine what you're
thinking as a police officer when
you hear about these failures.
I live in San Antonio.
It took me 15 minutes to get
from San Antonio to there to come
here to evaluate. They took 77.
I love my Blues and blue but.
It's just like any profession you know.
This profession is not made for everybody.
You know it's it's funny, Danny,
you know you graduate from the Academy.
You get the badge,
but when it's time to suit up when?
You know, Steph stared death in the face.
You know they went weak on the news.
One thing I didn't want.
So those officers that were in those
hallways, I want them to resign.
So you want all those officers gone
that were in the home? Yeah, yes.
The minute I heard that. My.
My mom's dead. I. I yelled out,
I should have taken that bullet.
Because.
Because I'm I'm in the military.
I know it has to be done.
I signed up for that.
My mom protected those kids.
But no one protected her.
So to hold the Police Department here.
Or cowards? My daughter.
Who's the fighter?
Took a little bullet to the heart
and still fight. She
fought hard to stay alive.
These cowards couldn't go in.
Beyond heartbreaking,
and unfortunately for those families,
the back and forth over what happened
in the Uvalde continues today.
The mayor of Ivaldi Don McLaughlin
released a statement saying quote the
report by the Advanced Law Enforcement
Rapid Response Training Center does not
give a complete and accurate account of
what happened at Rob Elementary School.
He says no ivaldi Police Department
officer saw the shooter on May 24
prior to him entering the school.
No, you've already.
Police officers had any opportunity
to take a shot.
The gunman,
a Uvalde Police Department officer,
saw someone outside but was
unsure of who he saw and observed
children in the area as well.
Ultimately, it was a coach with
children on the playground,
not the shooter.
McLaughlin added quote.
The premature release of piecemeal
information or anything related
to the May 24 DPS Texas Rangers
investigation is a disservice to
families who lost children or parents
because the true facts need to
come out once all investigations.
Reviews which the city expects will
be thorough and fair are complete.
Meanwhile,
the Houston Astros Foundation wrapped
its arms around the people of Vivaldi.
Today,
the foundation putting together a
number of fun events in the city,
including this pickup baseball game.
Team owner Jim Crane,
was on hand to show that the
Astros and of all of Houston
are standing with Vivaldi now,
for ways you can help the people.
