The City Council in Uvalde, Texas, the site of a May 2022 mass shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead, will not commission another investigation into the attack after a third-party investigator cleared the police officers there that day of wrongdoing.

Mayor Pro-Tem Everardo Zamora read a statement revealing the news before the end of the council meeting Tuesday night.

We, the City Council, commissioned the independent investigation at the request of the former mayor in the immediate aftermath of the Robb Elementary shooting, Zamora said . The conclusions supported the officers complied with [Uvalde Police Department] policies at the time of the shooting.

Zamora went on to say that the community was not protected the day of the mass shooting. The police departments policies were outdated and the department lacked proper training and equipment, he said.
