Uvalde Cops Reportedly Tried To Silence the Mom Who Rescued Her Kids and Criticized the Police Response
In an interview with CBS that aired this weekend, Gomez explained how she was able to enter the school and rescue her two children despite the cops’ active efforts to thwart her. The entire interview is a damning indictment of law enforcement’s mishandling of the shooting, but one new detail bears particular emphasis: According to Gomez, the police subsequently contacted her and said that the media attention she was generating for criticizing them could lead to obstruction of justice charges. (Gomez is on probation for unspecified though decades-old charges.)
This woman was inside the school while shots were being fired. The police knew the shooter was still active and let children die instead of entering the school.

There were five key arguments the court ruled could not be presented to the 12-juror panel who will decide the fate of the three white men charged.
Killers Of Ahmaud Arbery Found Guilty Of Murder
Gregory McMichael, his son Travis and their neighbor William Bryan face the possibility of a life sentence without parole for their parts in the murder.
