Uvalde families are outraged, yet a newspaper that published the video defended the decision, saying it was part of a push toward transparency about the case that the community has been asking for.
"The footage is heartbreaking and we are deeply dismayed that the families that lost loved ones were not given the opportunity they deserve to view it privately before it was shared publicly," the district said."We continue to await the results of the ongoing investigation so that we, along with districts across the state and nation, can take informed action to enhance our ability to prevent future tragedies.
"This tragedy has been further tragic by changing stories, heroic-sounding narratives proven to be false and a delay or in most cases rejection of media requests for public information by law enforcement leaders, public officials and elected leaders. Many of the requests now rest in the hands of Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office, who has not yet decided what should be released," Garcia wrote.
One officer is even seen in the video using hand sanitizer from a dispenser mounted on the wall of the hallway as he waited.That statement came 30 minutes before law enforcement confronted and killed the gunman. NBC News reached out to the Uvalde police for comment since the release of the video and has not heard back.
