AG Garland: Law Enforcement’s Response to Uvalde School Shooting Was a Failure

‘Officials waited for equipment instead of following active shooter practice and moving toward the shooter with resources they had’

EXCERPT:

GARLAND: “The law enforcement response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary was a failure. As a threat posed to our country by mass shootings has grown and evolved over the past several decades, law enforcement response tactics have also changed. The massacre at Columbine High School, 25 years ago, and the 47 minutes it took for law enforcement to enter that high school marked a major shift in how law enforcement leaders think about responding to mass shootings. It is now widely understood by law enforcement agencies across the country that an active shooter incidents time is not on the side of law enforcement.”
