Officials in Uvalde revealed on Wednesday that they failed to release some officer body camera and dashboard footage related to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting as required by a settlement agreement with news organizations that sued for access.

After the city released hundreds of records on Saturday to news organizations, including ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, an officer informed the Uvalde Police Department that some of his body camera footage from the May 24, 2022, shooting was missing, according to a news release from the city.

In response, police Chief Homer Delgado ordered an audit of the department’s servers, which turned up “several additional videos.” The city did not say which officers or cruisers the missing footage belonged to.

In all fairness they had more than a hundred people standing around at the scene, might be a logistical issue.

in all fairness all the police squads standing around, ignoring the screams of bloody murder from the children for their own lives probably made the hole scene very confusing to them.

Uvalde police failed due to their inaction in that particular emergency.
