An off-duty cop whose wife was a teacher and had children in the school went into the school and evacuated some classrooms and rescued his children.

Uvalde mom, Angeli Rose Gomez was initially stopped by police. She begged for help since her children were inside the besieged school. And Gomez eventually broke free of the police, entered the school, and was able to get her kids out.

Survivors have also given highly uncomplimentary reports of the police response.

DPS requests Paxton block bodycam footage

The DPS formally requested Paxton’s office block the public release of bodycam videos from the deadly shooting. The DPS claims the footage is “confidential” and could give future shooters “invaluable information” about police investigations and tactics.

“Knowing the intelligence and response capabilities of Department personnel and where those employees focus their attention will compromise law enforcement purposes by enabling criminals to anticipate weakness in law enforcement procedures and alter their methods of operation to avoid detection and apprehension,” the DPS letter to Paxton stated.
