Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin on Wednesday accused the county’s district attorney, Christina Mitchell, of a cover-up in connection with the ongoing investigation into the 2022 school shooting in the community and called on her to resign as the city reinstated a lawsuit seeking access to law enforcement records connected with the rampage that killed 21.

Mitchell “has been involved in a cover-up regarding the city’s investigation into the Robb School tragedy,” the mayor said in a statement.

The renewed lawsuit, filed on Aug. 29 in District Court in Uvalde County, again seeks a court order requiring the DA’s office to release information regarding the mass shooting for the city’s independent investigator Jesse Prado.

1. TY & Mayor Don McLaughlin

It seems weird a DA would be trying to cover this Horrible tragedy up but it has been covered up from what I've seen.

2. THE POLICE CAN'T HIDE FROM WHAT THEY DIDN'T DO

While young children were being slaughtered they stood around in a hallway because the killer had an AR-15. It has been an ongoing scandal ever since.

3. He wants to see if the city is on the hook for negligence.

4. He is a Republican shill.

He's the one who confronted Beto at the press conference in order to impress Abbott. He's also running for a state Congressional seat now.

Kimberly Rubio, whose daughter Lexi was killed in the shooting, is running to replace McLaughlin.

5. What an awful person!

6. Editors note: The sound of children screaming has been removed.

7. All I know is that the mayor is a major A-Hole. Too much

speculation on the knowns.

“He has an AR, we’re not going in” does not play well for the Police Department.

8. All bunch of cowards

They were all right with exposing 4th grade children to possible massacre but not so much the police. Can't have the police be shot at.
