Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell told the San Antonio Express-News that a grand jury will review evidence related to the May 24, 2022, shooting at Robb Elementary School. She did not disclose what the grand jury will focus on, the newspaper reported. During the attack, police waited more than an hour to confront and kill the gunman in what U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday called “a failure that should not have happened.”
Mitchell did not immediately respond to emailed questions and calls to her office Friday. The empaneling of the grand jury was first reported by the Uvalde Leader-News.
