Uvalde Shooting

A group of news organizations including The Texas Tribune had sued for access to the records.

A grand jury also indicted former officer Adrian Gonzalez for his role in the failed response to the 2022 shooting.

The lawsuits claimed that the shipment of the weapon and specialized trigger violated state and federal law.

The lawsuit accuses Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of the shooter’s weapon, of marketing its products to young people.

The families of 19 victims of the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting announced a settlement Wednesday with the city and county of Uvalde. They also announced a lawsuit against the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Chief Daniel Rodriguez was taking pre-scheduled vacation time in Phoenix during the Robb Elementary School shooting on May 24, 2022.

Don McLaughlin, who called on the investigation, said acting police chief Mariano Pargas failed as a leader on the day of the mass shooting.

Family members of the 21 killed had hoped the investigation would lead to terminations for officers involved in the botched shooting response.

A law Texas passed after a gunman killed 21 people in Uvalde mandates the training. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with Austin ISD to host the classes, with the goal of preparing about 800 law enforcement officers by next year.

This latest development comes one day after the U.S. Department of Justice issued a blistering report about the botched response to the Uvalde shooting, which left 21 dead.
