The US Department of Justice plans to release its critical incident review of the law enforcement response to the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Thursday afternoon, according to Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Ashley Chohlis. The superintendent told Uvalde school board members at a Monday evening meeting that she had been notified by the Justice Department about the critical incident review’s planned release earlier that day. Law enforcement experts and victims’ families have questioned whether lives could have been saved if authorities had acted sooner. The more than 90 officers from the Texas Department of Safety who were on scene have also faced scrutiny. Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell previously said she will charge law enforcement officers in relation to the response if warranted.
