Uvalde school shooting report finds 'systemic failures' in law enforcement response |
| A Texas House committee investigating the Uvalde school shooting released a preliminary report that blamed multiple failures by those in positions of power – including nearly 400 law enforcers who converged on the scene – for not halting the massacre. The committee held closed-door meetings over the past month investigating the shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead on May 24. Read what's in the preliminary report. |
| What the report means: The findings are the most complete account yet of the response to the deadly shooting. |
| • | Immediate impact: Lt. Mariano Pargas, a Uvalde Police Department officer who was the city's acting police chief during the massacre, was placed on administrative leave after the report was released. | | • | 'We got to get in there': Uvalde officials have released police body camera footage from seven Uvalde police officers after the release of the committee's report as well as video taken from the school's hallway. | | • | Video from the school: Former Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said the hallway video from Robb Elementary School suggests that police are more concerned about themselves than the safety of children and teachers inside the classroom. | |

| Jury selection will begin Monday in the trial of former White House strategist Steve Bannon, who is charged with defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Bannon faces two counts of contempt for his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents, despite a subpoena from the House committee, which has held a series of hearings featuring damning testimony from former President Donald Trump's administration officials. Bannon, 68, has argued that his testimony is protected by Trump's claim of executive privilege. Read more |
