shimon prokupecz has more. school shooting. reporter: in a community reeling from one of the worst school shootings in history. still begging for answers and accountability. i m behind you. i ve got it. reporter: cnn has learned that one of the texas state troopers under investigation for her actions at robb elementary has a new job as a newly hired school police officer at uvalde elementary, trusted with protecting some of the same students who survived the massacre. parents of children who were killed at robb were the first to notice the officer crimson elizondo on campus. recognizing her from body camera footage of the shooting. she is a four year veteran of the texas department of public safety was one of the first law enforcement officers on scene on may 24th. she resigned from the dps over the summer and was hired by the
uvalde school district soon after. i actually have some questions for you. i m not answering any questions. on the playground outside of her new post, she could be seen here in the dark blue uniform. officer, i m doing a story about you and your time at dps. i d like to ask you some questions if possible. reporter: before she resigned from dps, her actions and the actions of six other dps officers at the scene of the shooting were referred for further investigation. in a redacted internal memo to the organization s director obtained by cnn found actions inconsistent with training requirements as the reason for the referral. despite early efforts by state officials to blame the local police department in uvalde for the failed response, a time line from body camera footage shows elizondo arrived on scene just
