Uvalde police officers have been widely criticized for their delayed response to the tragic shooting that took place Tuesday at Robb Elementary School – apparently despite the fact that the department had hosted an “Active Shooter Training” just nine weeks earlier. “It appears there was an active shooter class hosted by the Uvalde Police Department on March 21,2022. There don't appear to be any other updates about the training posted on the Southwest Texas Junior College Law Enforcement Academy Facebook page. Baker noted that the active shooter drills included role-playing different potential scenarios that could play out in an active shooter situation. In the past two years, the Uvalde school district has hosted at least two active-shooter training days.
