The chief of the CISD did an initial interview but has not responded to a request for a follow-up interview that was made two days ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, that may not be the whole story.<\/p>\n<p>Per the outlet, \u201cfifteen minutes later,\u201d Considine appeared to contradict his prior follow-up interview comment when he told the\u00a0<em>Dallas <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a><\/em> that it was \u201cabsolutely wrong\u201d to say either Uvalde law enforcement office had been uncooperative with Texas DPS\u2019 investigation into the shooting:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cUvalde PD and Uvalde [CISD] are cooperating. Plenty of their personnel have done interviews and given statements to investigators, so it\u2019s absolutely wrong to characterize both those departments as not being cooperative.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, Considine apparently \u201cdid not explain\u201d to the media why he\u2019d previously said Arredondo was ignoring the state organization\u2019s interview request.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just the\u00a0<em>Daily Mail<\/em> report at issue, either; according to\u00a0<em>ABC News<\/em>, \u201cmultiple law enforcement sources\u201d told them on Tuesday that neither neither Uvalde\u2019s city police department\u00a0<em>nor<\/em> the school district\u2019s police force are cooperating with the state\u2019s investigation into the massacre.\u00a0That\u2019s not good\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Uvalde Shooter\u2019s Cousin Says He Asked About The Elementary School Prior To Massacre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Per the\u00a0<em>ABC News<\/em> report, the two Uvalde law enforcement arms decided to stop cooperating late last Friday after the director of the Texas DPS,\u00a0<strong>Col. Steven McCraw<\/strong>, held a news conference announcing that the police\u2019s decision to delay entry into the classroom while the shooting was taking place was \u201cthe wrong decision\u201d and went against protocol.\u00a0In addition to the Texas DPS investigation into the shooting and its aftermath, on Sunday, the\u00a0<strong>U.S. Department of Justice<\/strong> also announced that they had launched an inquiry into the apparently unacceptable police response at Robb Elementary School.<\/p>\n<p>Arredondo specifically is being criticized for reportedly waiting to enter the classroom where the gunman had barricaded himself to commit the atrocity. Per media reports, he had been the on-scene incident commander at the massacre site, and apparently ordered officers to wait \u201croughly an hour\u201d before entering the room to engage with the shooter. An agent with the\u00a0<strong>U.S. Border Patrol<\/strong>, an arm of the federal agency\u00a0<strong>Customs and Border Protection<\/strong>, reportedly arrived on scene and \u201cdecided unilaterally to storm the building and shoot the gunman dead\u201d despite Arredondo\u2019s prior order to wait, per\u00a0<em>Daily Mail<\/em> and others.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously, on Tuesday, Arredondo was reportedly sworn in as a member of the Uvalde City Council after winning a prior local election for the position earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Here is more on that unexpected swearing-in ceremony and the investigation into his apparent refusal to cooperate with Texas DPS investigators, via\u00a0<em>KENS 5 News<\/em> (below):<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Uvalde CISD police chief not responding to investigators, sworn in as City Council member\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZsoSPx3nlP0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Both the state and federal investigations are expected to continue from here \u2014 with Arredondo\u2019s assistance or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image_cite\"><em>[Image via KENS 5 News\/<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZsoSPx3nlP0\">YouTube<\/a>]<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
