Texas' Greg Abbott Desires 'Critical Changes' Following Release of Uvalde Shooting Report

Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Monday expressed his desire for critical changes a day after the report on the tragic Uvalde shooting was released.

Abbott claimed that the findings from the investigation of Texas' House were "beyond disturbing" and it raised "serious concerns" on how the law enforcement authorities responded to the tragedy that day, per New York Post.

"There are critical changes needed as a result of the Texas House's findings," Abbott said in a statement posted on his Twitter account. The Texas governor did not specify what "critical changes" he was referring to, but he underscored in his statement that they will work with the legislature to "develop and implement" the important changes when it comes to the safety of the public, as well as the assessment and treatment of mental health.

Previously, Abbott also called for state school campuses to check on their security weakness. He also asked for teachers and school district departments to be trained in the event of a school shooting before the start of the incoming school year.

Texas School District to Implement Transparent Bags After Uvalde Shooting

Texas Governor Abbott was not the only one who desired changes following the fatal Uvalde shooting at Robb Elementary School. The Dallas School District on Monday announced that it will require students to use transparent bags in response to the recent gun violence in schools.

The school district underscored that students from sixth to 12th grade will be required to use transparent or mesh bags, contending that the move will help stem future violence.

"By being able to easily see the items in the backpacks as students enter the school, campus personnel will be able to ensure that prohibited items are not included among the students' belonging," the school district said.

Dallas School District acknowledged that their move would not have stopped what happened in May, but they argued that students across the country are known to stash deadly weapons in their backpacks.

The school district also contended that their move is merely one of the several steps of its comprehensive plan to better ensure the safety of their students, as well as their staff.

The said requirement will go into effect when students return to school this August.

Uvalde Shooting Report Released

On Sunday, The Texas House Committee released a report in connection to the tragic Uvalde shooting at Robb Elementary school, that killed 19 children and two teachers.

The report suggested several mishaps in the response of the police at the site, including a breakdown of communication between the responders and confusion on who was the commanding officer at the scene.

Despite the findings presented by the Texas House Committee, the said update still frustrated the Uvalde community members as it was not translated into Spanish. Reports noted that community members claimed that the report was "complicated to read."

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said that the official translation of the report to Spanish would take two weeks, prompting netizens to put him under scrutiny.
