Uvalde shooting surveillance video released by Texas media outlets

The Austin American-Statesman and its television partner, KVUE, published surveillance video taken the day of the deadly mass shooting in Uvalde.
Surveillance footage from the May 24 shooting in Uvalde has been published by Texas media outlets ahead of the video’s scheduled release Sunday.

The Austin American-Statesman and its television partner KVUE initially published edited and shortened clips of the video that includes scenes from outside Robb Elementary School, hallway footage showing the moment the 18-year-old gunman entered the school, and parts of the police response.

But the outlets later published the video in its entirety.

“Both media outlets have elected to release that footage Tuesday to provide transparency to the community, showing what happened as officials waited to enter that classroom,” the KVUE story notes on its website.
