UWALDE, Texas – Uwalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell said Thursday that she is not investigating the shooting at Rob Elementary School and is waiting for the investigation to be completed so her team can review it.
Inaccurate information and conflicting storylines have obscured the shooting at the Uwalde school, including who is leading the investigation.
Newspapers cited a number of agencies and organizations, including Uwalde County Attorney Christina Mitchell.
KSAT 12 News asked Mitchell on Thursday who the lead agency in the investigation was, what its role was and whether it was investigating anything.
According to Mitchell, the Texas Rangers and the FBI are the leading agencies. Mitchell said she was not investigating anything and was waiting for the investigation to be completed so that her team could review it.
KSAT also asked Mitchell why she had asked officials such as DPS Director Steve McCrow to remain silent about the investigation. Mitchell explained that he was trying to protect already grieving families from half-truths and inaccurate information. She added that she prefers to speak facts that are known, as opposed to new discoveries that are still being tried to be verified or put together.
