The city of Uvalde has reportedly hired a private Texas law firm to seek an exemption to block the release of public records pertaining to the Uvalde school shooting because some contain 'highly embarrassing information.'
Weeks since a gunman killed 21 people inside a Texas elementary school, Uvalde law enforcement officials have stopped providing updates about what transpired during the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School.
Now, some Texas lawmakers and advocates have voiced their concerns that a legal loophole could be used by Uvalde city officials that would block further information about the deadly school shooting from being released, the Associated Press reported. According to the news outlet, the Texas Attorney General's Office has ruled that the exception applies when a suspect dies.
The AP reported that law enforcement officials delayed confronting the gunman for 77 minutes before he was fatally killed.
