Uvalde mayor calls on elementary school to be demolished.
“It’s my understanding and I had this discussion with the superintendent -- that school will be demolished. You could never ask a child to go back or a teacher to go back to that school. Ever,” Mayor Don McLaughlin said.
The decision comes as McLaughlin slammed those leading the investigation, saying he hasn’t been briefed on how it’s going. He also accused the Department of Public Safety of making misleading statements to help distance the actions of the state troopers and rangers who responded to the shooting. Police who responded to the shooting quickly came under fire from the public for waiting too long to enter the classroom where the gunman was barricaded with students and teachers.Most Read
