Texas Rangers investigating the response to the shooting, which ended after 19 students and two teachers had been shot to death and 17 were wounded last week, want to continue talking to Pete Arredondo, chief of police at Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, but he hasn't answered a request made a couple of days ago, according to two spokespeople for the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Also on Tuesday, DPS officials walked back a statement that Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, made Friday that a teacher had propped open the door through which the gunman entered the school. DPS now says a teacher shut that door but its automatic lock malfunctioned. Considine said DPS is investigating why the lock didn’t work.
