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

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Independent School District police power are not cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Safety's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary Faculty and the state's review of the regulation enforcement response, a number of regulation enforcement sources tell ABC News.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased Faculty District did not instantly reply to requests for remark from ABC Information.

In response to sources, the decision to stop 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 wrong choice" and contrary to protocol.

The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police offered an preliminary interview but has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days in the past."
