Uvalde police, faculty district no longer cooperating with Texas probe of shooting: Sources

The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Impartial Faculty District police drive are now not cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's review of the law enforcement response, a number of regulation enforcement sources tell ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased College District did not instantly reply to requests for comment from ABC News.

According to sources, the choice to cease cooperating occurred quickly after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information convention Friday throughout which he said the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the mistaken decision" and opposite to protocol.
