Two Uvalde city police officers told a sheriff's deputy that they passed up a fleeting chance to shoot the gunman for fear of hitting children outside an elementary school where the gunman killed 21 people.
The gunman went on to enter Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on May 24 and open fire, killing 19 children and two teachers.
When Rios asked why the officers didn't shoot, they said children were playing in the background in the line of fire. On Thursday, Republican state Representative Dustin Burrows voiced his frustrations on Twitter about why the law enforcement agency wasn't initially cooperating with the investigation.
