Congressman Al Green Thanks FBI for Responding to His Appeal for Uvalde Investigation
“Last week I sent a letter to the FBI urging them to conduct a federal independent investigation into the mass shooting that occurred on May 24, 2022 in Uvalde, Texas. It is of utmost importance that investigative efforts into this horrific massacre are conducted swiftly, fairly, and with transparency. Without answers or a full and accurate account of what transpired at Robb Elementary School on that tragic day, we cannot fully move forward as a country to protect our children and prevent more senseless deaths. The entire Uvalde community as well as the American people deserve answers.”
