Allred Statement on DOJ Uvalde Response Report

Dallas, TX — Today, Congressman Colin Allred released the following statement on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) report on the Uvalde response:

“As a dad, I cannot imagine the deep grief, heartbreak, and frustration these families are feeling. On that dark day, law enforcement failed to protect the vulnerable children at Robb Elementary. I join my fellow Texans today in mourning and demanding justice and accountability.” 

After the tragedy in Uvalde, Allred, alongside fellow Texans including Senator John Cornyn, worked to enact the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first major gun safety legislation in decades. The landmark law included $300 million for school safety.
