UVALDE, Texas (AP) — A Texas prosecutor has convened a grand jury to investigate the Uvalde school shooting that killed 21 people, multiple media have reported. Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell told the San Antonio Express-News for a report published Friday that a grand jury has convened to review evidence related to the Robb Elementary School shooting in 2022 that left 19 children and two teachers dead. The newspaper said Mitchell did not disclose what the grand jury will focus on. Families of the victims have renewed calls for law enforcement officers to face criminal charges after a scathing Justice Department report on Thursday laid bare numerous failures by police at the scene.
