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

The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Unbiased College District police force are not cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Safety's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's assessment of the law enforcement response, multiple law enforcement sources inform ABC News.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent Faculty District did not immediately reply to requests for remark from ABC News.

In response to sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a news convention Friday throughout which he stated the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the improper decision" and contrary to protocol.
