Uvalde school shooting: Embattled police chief is put on leave
A police chief accused of botching the response to the fatal shooting of 19 schoolchildren and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, has been sacked.His lawyers said in a written statement that he had been unaware anyone was inside the classrooms with the shooter.
Many parents and relatives have expressed deep anger at the police response and there has been growing pressure for law enforcements to be held accountable. They said their client, who had led the small police force since 2020, did not think he was the official in charge at the time of the attack."Any allegation of lack of leadership is wholly misplaced."
It continued: "The complaint that an officer should have rushed the door, believed to be locked, to open it up without a shield capable of stopping an AR-15 bullet, without breaching tools… is tantamount to suicide." Mr McCraw's department is also under scrutiny - it had more than 90 state troopers at the scene of the massacre.
