Uvalde police, faculty district not cooperating with Texas probe of shooting: Sources

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Impartial School District police power are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the bloodbath at Robb Elementary School and the state's overview of the law enforcement response, multiple law enforcement sources inform ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased School District didn't immediately reply to requests for remark from ABC News.

In line with sources, the choice to cease cooperating occurred quickly after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a news conference Friday during which he said the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the wrong determination" and contrary to protocol.

The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police supplied an initial interview however has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days ago."

Last Tuesday's assault, one of many worst college shootings in U.S. history, left 19 kids and two adults dead.
