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

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Unbiased Faculty District police force are no longer cooperating with the Texas Division of Public Security's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's evaluation of the legislation enforcement response, multiple law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

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

Based on sources, the choice to stop cooperating occurred quickly after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information conference Friday during which he mentioned the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the improper decision" and opposite to protocol.

The chief of the Uvalde CISD Police provided an preliminary interview but has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview with the Texas Rangers that was made two days in the past."
