The Associated Press and other news organizations are suing officials in Uvalde, Texas, after months of refusal to publicly release records related to the May massacre at Robb Elementary School.
The lawsuit filed Monday in Uvalde County asks a court to force the city, school district and sheriff’s department to turn over 911 recordings, personnel records and other documents. Newsrooms have requested them under Texas open records laws since a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers on May 24.
More than three months after one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history, news organizations have turned to courts in an effort to obtain information and records that Uvalde officials and state police have argued they cannot release because of ongoing investigations. The Texas Attorney General’s Office has also ruled that Uvalde officials cannot withhold all records.
Misleading and outright false statements by authorities about the police response in the initial hours and days after the attack on a fourth-grade classroom — which lasted more than 70 minutes — have sowed distrust that remains among many Uvalde residents.
“The obfuscation and inaction have only prolonged the pain of victims, their families and the community at large, all of whom continue to cry out for transparency regarding the events of that day,” the lawsuit states.

All of this needs to come out.
Any pending case doesn’t matter. Provide the information and let others decide.
Lawyers can argue for what they want to argue, later.
Police comment on ongoing investigations all the time -unless it’s police being investigated.
Glad the media is on our side for this issue.
What are they hiding Or doctoring
or, at least, pretending.
The entire country has seen the video and knows about the cowardice of the Uvalde police department. Everyone knows the name Pete Arredondo and his stupidity, incompetence and cowardice. Even McDonald’s would not hire him to flip hamburgers for them. Maybe he will find a job working the night shift as a security guard for a cemetery. He should be in prison serving 21 life sentences.
I know. We’ve seen the CCTV video, but I would love to see things like texts radio recordings, etc between the Chief, etc. during the shooting.
“maybe he will find a job”, maybe some parent will feed him a bullet, then claim INSANITY DUE TO GRIEF!
