The Uvalde, Texas, city council on Thursday released the findings of the independent report it commissioned to investigate the actions of Uvalde police officers who responded to the Robb Elementary School mass shooting.

The investigation determined none of the initial five Uvalde police officers who responded to the shooting violated policy or committed serious acts of misconduct, which devastated and outraged victims' families who attended Thursday's hearing.

Officers from Uvalde police, Border Patrol and the Texas Department of Public Safety were among those who rushed to the scene.

Uvalde police Lt. Javier Martinez, Uvalde Detective Louis Landry and Staff Sgt. Eduardo Canales also didn't violate department policy, the report found.

"These police officers signed up to do a job -- they didn't do it," Ruben Zamora, whose daughter, Mayah, was injured in shooting, said to the police chief.

Prado was asked by the city to investigate every Uvalde police officer and the three dispatchers who were involved in the response, and trace their actions to determine if they violated any Uvalde Police Department policy.

The report only investigated officers still employed by the Uvalde Police Department. »
