A special Texas House investigative committee probing the Uvalde school massacre found multiple failures occurred leading up to the horror and involved everyone from law enforcement to social-media platforms, a report said Sunday.
Other entities to blame included the school itself, Robb Elementary, and the shooter’s family, CNN said, noting it had an early copy of the probe’s finding.
The panel was also set to officially release surveillance footage of the school’s hallway during the May 24 attack, which left 21 people dead. The Austin American-Statesman published the surveillance footage Tuesday after it was leaked to the paper.
The report is expected to detail testimony from about 40 people who spoke to the committee, including the school’s principal, a teacher, the district superintendent, custodial staff, members of the Texas Department of Public Safety and the school district’s police chief, CNN reported.
