Uvalde police, school district not cooperating with Texas probe of capturing: Sources

The Uvalde Police Division and the Uvalde Independent School District police force are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Security's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's evaluation of the regulation enforcement response, a number of law enforcement sources tell ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Unbiased College District didn't instantly reply to requests for remark from ABC News.

In response to sources, the choice to cease cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a information convention Friday throughout which he mentioned the delayed police entry into the classroom was "the improper decision" and opposite to protocol.
