The principal of the Texas elementary school where a gunman went on a rampage in May has been suspended with pay, her attorney said.
Mandy Gutierrez, principal of Robb Elementary School, was placed on administrative leave by Hal Harrell, the Uvalde school district superintendent, on Monday, her attorney Ricardo Cedillo told Reuters.
The shooting opened up a new wave of debate over the easy access to guns enjoyed by Texans and many other Americans.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.The suspension follows the release of a report on an investigation by a Texas legislative committee into the May 24 shooting. It found Gutierrez, who was in her first year as principal of the school, knew about security issues around the school.
The report, which marked the most exhaustive attempt so far to determine why it took more than an hour for police to confront and kill the 18-year-old gunman, said “systemic failures” and poor leadership had contributed to the death toll.
