“Systemic failures and egregious poor decision making.” A scathing report released Sunday by a Texas House committee investigating the Uvalde school shooting blamed multiple failures by those in positions of power – including almost 400 law enforcers who converged on the scene – for not halting the massacre. The preliminary report describes how police disregarded department active-shooter training, how the school district did not adhere fully to its safety plan, and how the shooter's family did not recognize warning signs before the rampage. The committee held closed-door meetings over the past month investigating the shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead. Outrage skyrocketed over the response of authorities who waited more than an hour before breaching a fourth grade classroom – even as terrified students dialed 911 for help. 🔗 Visit our link in bio to read more from the report. 📸: Jordan Vonderhaar, @gettyimages
