Uvalde police, college district now not cooperating with Texas probe of capturing: Sources

The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Independent School District police force are now not cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's assessment of the law enforcement response, multiple legislation enforcement sources tell ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased Faculty District didn't instantly respond to requests for remark from ABC News.

Based on sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred quickly after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information convention Friday throughout which he stated the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the flawed choice" and contrary to protocol.
