FULL REPORT: DOJ releases report on Uvalde shooting

A Department of Justice review of the police response to the mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school found “cascading failures of leadership, decision-making, tactics, policy and training.”
The review, which was based on hundreds of interviews with police and others, said the biggest mistake officers made that day was considering the shooter a barricaded person and not an active shooter even though children were still trapped in the classrooms with him.
The report says officers made a critical mistake when they retreated after being fired upon initially, even though they knew, or should have known, that the gunman was still a threat because the shooter fired at least one shot during the standoff and a student called 911 from inside the classroom.
Still, the report says, officers on scene concentrated on evacuating people from elsewhere in the building and spent considerable time hunting keys to the classroom containing the shooter instead of confronting him.
“An active shooter with access to victims should never be considered and treated as a barricaded subject,” the report states. “Evacuations in such circumstances must be conducted in the most expeditious manner, limited to those immediately in harm’s way, and not at the expense of the priority to eliminate the threat.”
