Uvalde police, school district now not cooperating with Texas probe of taking pictures: Sources

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Unbiased School District police drive are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's evaluation of the regulation enforcement response, multiple law enforcement sources tell ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent School District didn't immediately reply to requests for remark from ABC News.

In line with sources, the decision to cease cooperating occurred quickly after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information conference Friday throughout which he said the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the fallacious decision" and contrary to protocol.

Reached by ABC Information, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Security stated, "The Uvalde Police Department and Uvalde CISD Police have been cooperating with investigators. The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police offered an initial interview but has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days in the past."

Last Tuesday's attack, one of many worst school shootings in U.S. historical past, left 19 kids and two adults lifeless.
