Uvalde police response: Watch the special Texas Senate hearing as DPS Director Steve McCraw testifies

The special Texas Senate committee assigned to review the response to the Uvalde shooting and provide recommendations on school safety, mental health, social media, police training and gun safety meets Tuesday morning.

The committee, named the Senate Special Committee to Protect All Texans, is slated to hear testimony from Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw.

Col. Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, fights back emotion as he talks about the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School during a press conference Friday, May 27, 2022, at the school in Uvalde.

Police response to the shooting, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, has come under increased scrutiny over the weekend.

On Saturday, the San Antonio Express-News reported that surveillance footage shows police never tried to open the door to some classrooms at Robb Elementary School.
