Texas shooting: DoJ will review police reaction as Abbott is booed at memorial site

Texas shooting: The US Department of Justice will look at the police response to the Uvalde school shooting.

Spokesman Anthony Coley said in a statement that “at the request of Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, the US Department of Justice will conduct a Critical Incident Review of the law enforcement response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24”.

“The goal of the review is to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day, and to identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare for and respond to active shooter events,” Mr Coley added.

Meanwhile, mourners booed Texas Governor Greg Abbott during his visit to the school on Sunday. His visit coincided with that of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, who were both greeted by heartbroken people who begged them to “do something.”

“We will,” the president said as he entered his limousine.
