Chaos and ‘lack of urgency’ led to Uvalde failures, US justice department says | BBC News


Chaos and a "lack of urgency" plagued the police response to the deadly 2022 mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the US justice department has found.

Teachers and students "were trapped in a room with an active shooter for over an hour", US Attorney General Merrick Garland said.

"That should not have happened."

His comments followed Thursday’s release of a long-awaited report into one of the deadliest school shootings in US history.

The sharply critical report, spanning more than 600 pages, described how police officers remained in a hallway or outside the school as the gunman shot dozens of people in two classrooms, killing 19 children and two teachers.
