Just when we thought details surrounding the Uvalde shooting couldn’t get worse, they have. Between the nearly 80-page report the Texas House’s investigative committee released and the latest bodycam video Uvalde’s mayor made public, the fullest account we have yet of that fateful day is nothing short of horrific.
The report and video unveil details that piece together the tragic events of May 24, when a gunman killed 21 people, in a way that is more comprehensive, but just as infuriating — if not more so — than before.
From open doors and a gunman whom friends referred to as “school shooter,” to thousands of dollars spent on gun and ammo purchases, to failed law enforcement at every turn, the gunman could have been stopped but was not, creating a perfect storm of chaos and death.
