Families of 19 of the victims in the Uvalde elementary school shooting in Texas on Wednesday announced a $500 million lawsuit against nearly 100 Texas DPS officers who were part of the botched law enforcement response. The 92 officers being sued were among more than 370 federal, state and local officers who waited 77 minutes to confront the teenage gunman at Robb Elementary, attorneys announced Wednesday. While they waited, he killed 19 fourth-graders and two teachers with an AR-15 weapon in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. “While there is nothing normal about living in a society where kids can easily get access to a military rifle, the reality is that these officers were so terrified that they chose to abandon their burden to the Uvalde community: put themselves between a very dangerous person and a child, and the families must hold them accountable,” attorney Josh Koskoff said at a news conference with the families.
