During a meeting of the state’s Public Safety Commission, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety faced withering criticism from family members of murdered children.
“Are you a man of your word?” Brett Cross asked McCraw.Cross, whose son Uziyah Garcia was murdered during the mass shooting, was one of several parents calling for McCraw’s resignation. Many said the state troopers who responded to the school failed to act or take charge of the stuttered response.
McCraw agreed mistakes were made by individual troopers, but defended himself by stating DPS as a whole was not at fault. State Sen. Roland Gutierrez stood with the families and again pointed out that state troopers were on the scene within minutes of the shooter entering the school. The commission oversees DPS, and an agenda item for Thursday’s meeting included an update on the investigation into the police response to the mass shooting.
