Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says state officials were initially 'not told the truth' about police response to the Uvalde elementary school shooting that left 21 dead.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says state officials were told a ‘different story’ when being initially briefed on the Uvalde tragedy.Reacting to new details emerging on law enforcement's initial response to the Uvalde school shooting tragedy, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told"" on Saturday that state officials"were not told the truth" over the amount of time it took to subdue the shooter.
Patrick also said that the decision not to more quickly move in against the gunman was a"bad decision, and that decision cost lives."We were told that there was a security officer and they were a little hazy on how the engagement went, but that a security officer was there. Well, it turned out he was not on campus. He drove on to the campus, but he was not on campus, as we were told and led to believe.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick claimed state officials were "not told the truth" about law enforcement's initial response to the Uvalde school shooting on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Saturday, May 28, 2022. And so imagine the parent who has to go through this for the rest of their life and they will be thinking, 'Was my child still alive and could have been saved?' So that was another fact that we weren't told. And so this is heartbreaking. This is horrendous. With these shootings, one of the parts of this job that you don't ever want is to have to go to a funeral of, particularly a child, but anyone killed in a shooting or one of our police officers killed in the line of duty.
