The Robb Elementary School massacre that led to the murder of nineteen schoolchildren and two adults is already one of the worst failures in U.S. law enforcement history.

But new information has come to light that has led to the immediate suspension of the entire school police force and two school officials put on administrative leave.

“The District has made the decision to suspend all activities of the Uvalde CISD Police Department for a period of time. Officers currently employed will fill other roles in the district,” a statement from the district said.

The district stated that the measures were being taken in light of “recent developments.”
