Multiple sources are now saying that the chief of police for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) has stopped cooperating with investigators looking into the recent mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
As we’ve been reporting, last week, an 18-year-old gunman shot and killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in the southwest Texas town. In the days since, law enforcement officials in Uvalde have increasingly come under scrutiny for their apparent slow response to the shooting, and their alleged unwillingness to breach the classroom and confront the shooter.

Now, according to several media reports, multiple police sources have indicated that Pete Arredondo, the chief of police for Uvalde’s CISD (pictured above, left), has apparently stopped cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety‘s probe into the tragic event.
On Tuesday, DailyMail.com spoke to Travis Considine, a spokesperson for the Texas DPS, who bluntly told the outlet that Arredondo has “not responded” to the department’s requests to interview him about his response to the shooting:
However, that may not be the whole story.
Per the outlet, “fifteen minutes later,” Considine appeared to contradict his prior follow-up interview comment when he told the Dallas News that it was “absolutely wrong” to say either Uvalde law enforcement office had been uncooperative with Texas DPS’ investigation into the shooting:
Furthermore, Considine apparently “did not explain” to the media why he’d previously said Arredondo was ignoring the state organization’s interview request.
It’s not just the Daily Mail report at issue,
