These cops need to be prosecuted for their refusal to confront the gun man. The city and the school district are going to be sued for these assholes' gross negligence

The district attorney who is overseeing a criminal investigation into the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School has enlisted the help of at least four outside attorneys, according to one of the lawyers, former Brazos County district attorney Bill Turner.

Christina Mitchell Busbee, whose office handles felony prosecutions for Uvalde and Real counties, is heading up a Texas Rangers investigation into the massacre, which left 19 students and two teachers dead. She sought the help of outside counsel to handle the “volume of information” stemming from the inquiry, Turner said Monday.

“There's just such an overwhelming amount of work to be done that she just kind of called in and asked for help,” said Turner, a Democrat who worked as a prosecutor for the Texas Attorney General’s office after a three-decade tenure as the top prosecutor in Brazos County.

Also pitching in are district attorneys Tonya Ahlschwede and Audrey Louis, who each oversee rural five-county regions near Uvalde County. Nelson Barnes, a former local prosecutor who coordinates a state border prosecution program under Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star initiative, is helping with the investigation too, Turner said.
