what is the latest? well, certainly a significant, significant development here, something that the families have been wanting. and this is the most important thing really in this story. this community, the parents here, they have suspended, the school district now, moments ago in a press release, announcing they are sus ppending their schl police department. several officers at this police department. of course they have faced an enormous amount of scrutiny in their response for taking no action at all. they were there, had knowledge of the school, stood around and did nothing. so now comes word that this is something the families have wanted. also significant because of our reporting, we discovered they are announcing they are placing the lieutenant, miguel hernandez, the lieutenant he was the commander of this police department after they fired the former chief pete arredondo. what s important about miguel hernandez, he was responsible for vetting officer alejandro. he
