The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District announced Friday it has suspended its entire district police force, months after a shooting at Robb Elementary School left 19 students and two teachers dead, ABC News reported.
Officials around the nation have questioned why it took 77 minutes for police to breach a pair of adjoining rooms where a gunman was mercilessly slaughtering fourth-grade students and their teachers.
The Uvalde school board previously voted unanimously in August to fire district police chief Pete Arredondo over the botched police response.
On Friday, the district said it has requested additional Texas Department of Public Safety troopers for its campuses and places where extracurricular activities occur.
