UVALDE, Texas – Officers who were dispatched to Robb Elementary on May 24, 2022, will reportedly discuss their response to the deadly school shooting before a special grand jury.
The news of the officers testifying was first reported Thursday afternoon by the Austin American-Statesman.

The exact number of officers testifying next week is not yet known.
According to the report, the officers’ testimony will begin next week at the Uvalde County Courthouse.
The Department of Justice made its report on the school shooting public on Jan. 18. The next day, ABC News reported that a special grand jury was being assembled in the 38th Judicial District Court to look into the case.
The special grand jury, comprised of 12 Uvalde County residents, will perform a different duty than a typical grand jury. While it allows for subpoena witnesses, the special grand jury cannot find a party guilty or not guilty if it believes a crime did or did not take place. It will only issue a recommendation on whether the case will be taken to a formal grand jury.
As KSAT reported last month, the special grand jury may take as many as six months to make a formal recommendation.
