The Justice Department held a meeting with relatives of the Robb Elementary School massacre victims in Uvalde, Texas, ahead of the release of a report detailing major police response failures. The report revealed horrifying details, including children with bullet wounds being loaded onto school buses and the possibility of children being shot after an officer's instruction attracted the shooter. The report also highlighted the failure of local and state law enforcement and Congressional Republicans in prioritizing children's safety. The Uvalde shooter unleashed a second barrage of gunfire on trapped students 45 minutes after police arrived at the school.
