The Department of Justice has announced that it will conduct a “Critical Incident Review” of law enforcement officers during the tragic mass shooting in #Uvalde.
Gunman Salvador Ramos spent 78 minutes inside the building as members of the Uvalde Police Department and officers from other law-enforcement agencies gathered outside, some of who reportedly retrieved their own children from inside of the school.
Anguished parents who were also gathered were reportedly handcuffed and even pepper-sprayed by those same cops. As the massacre dragged on, at least two kids on the inside repeatedly called 911, begging in vain for help.
“The goal of the review is to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day, and to identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare for and respond to active shooter events,” a DOJ spokesman said in a statement to @CNN.
“As with prior Justice Department after-action reviews of mass shootings and other critical incidents, this assessment will be fair, transparent, and independent. The Justice Department will publish a report with its findings at the conclusion of its review.”
Every one of the Robb Elementary School shooting victims, survivors, their families and the public as a whole is owed a full accounting of what went wrong! This is so terrible all around 🙏🏾 #BWLM💕
