(Texas News Radio) — The Texas Inspector General’s Office will be taking a closer look at five Texas Department of Public Safety officers for their roles in the response to the Uvalde school massacre.
KVUE-TV and the Austin American-Statesman reported Tuesday the five officers were identified in a review the department announced in July.
It’s not clear how long the inspector general’s investigation will take.
The office will determine if there were any policy violations that occurred by these five officers during the response to the school massacre in May. It will also determine if any disciplinary actions are merited.
