A Justice Department report says the 2022 Uvalde, Texas school shooting could have been stopped sooner. The DOJ released a nearly 600-page report Thursday detailing the response to the shooting that killed 21 and injured 17 others. In the report, the DOJ said, "The response to the May 24th, 2022, mass casualty incident at Robb Elementary School was a failure." The shooter was stopped 77 minutes after he first walked into the school. Attorney General Merrick Garland traveled to Uvalde ahead of the report's release, spending time visiting the families of victims and 21 memorial murals honoring each person killed in the shooting.
